Just a couple of questions:
Do all Buells run hot? I've heard the cooling fans on them running for a long time.
How long have Buell used Rotax engines? Must be a move for the better.

The "front panniers" are the radiators & cooling fans, & they sound as bad as they look.
This is Buell first use of a Rotax motor, & they chose it, specifically to go racing in the WSB series. So this bike is aimed directly at the Ducati 1098S & the KTM RC8, but is much more keenly priced. eg a 1098S is $32000 in this country, & an RC8 $28000, but the 1125R is $19000 on the road. at that price, they should sell boatloads of 'em.
