The bikes that had the rotax powerplants were 2009 and newer 1125r, 1125cr, and now the 1190r, and 1190rr.
those are all very sexy bikes as well =).

Can't believe I never posted my new bike. I sold both my old CBX and the Kawi ZR-7S I was dailying to give my wife a little cash and buy a Suzuki Bandit 1200 with a rebuilt motor I had my eye on:
Since then I've added:
-GSX-R1100 intake cam (and valve adjust)
-GSX-R1000 ('06) rear shock and heavier weight oil in forks
-new Dunlop Q2 tires
-new EBC HH pads
-K&N filter with hacked airbox lid
-D&D full exhaust
-cleaned and rejetted carbs (157.5 mains, 27.5 idle, and needles shimmed 0.020")
-dual element headlight mod with Sylvania Silverstars...gives high and low beams on both sides instead of the stupid "left is low, right is high" stock setup
-DIY 5* timing advance
-rebuilt clutch master and slave cylinders
Pretty much got it exactly the way I want it...and love it.
Too bad kid #2 is on the way and wife wants me to sell it...LOL.

I had a CB350-4 back in the day (same color as yours). I bought it from my uncle, it came with a huge Windjammer fairing and crash bar on the front. I almost lost it one time turning into a parking lot when I grounded the crash bar on one side. Took it off right after that. The bike was a blast, winding its tail up to redline was oh so sweet. I'd love to get another one.
