     Buell2001b |
i was looking at some pics i saw in two magazine. i did not realize that was mcwilliams on the bike. i looked at the pics closer and i noticed the oil resevoir of it looked just like the buell XP. then i wwas wondering why they pulled out of the GP racing. I also did some reasearch on Ilmor racing and aparently they have a factory or design center in michigan? i know this would be too much of a dream come true, but has HD put up the bucks for Ilmor to develop a racing engine for Buell? cross my fingers | ||

ilmor is probably in michigan for the big three--gm,ford,chrysler. seems more likely to me. tim | ||

sorry rocket, XB, i misspelled. i found another article where it says that the reason why they pulled out of GP was that they did not have a major sponsor, so mechanical problems i honestly don't hink is an issue. also they are downsizing but mcwilliams and the other 2 racers will stay with ilmor to further develop the engine. I do feel bad for mcwilliams after all he is a bueller too. maybe next year better luck, one thing im sure off he is fast. no one has riden the XBRR like he did. |
