Buell would probably sell more 1125R's if it had a full fairing like that on it. | ||

Still, I look forward to seeing the Buell flying around the track in AMA races again. | ||

William H Macy has an 1125R?? I thought he was a Wild Hog!?! | ||

What fairing is that? Is that a track 1125R fairing?I'd love that on my Bolt. | ||

I really like the radiator design of the race bikes, the heat is sent OUT instead of IN  | ||

Good design for racing. Not so good design for street riding. Notice the fans are absent, to the airflow thru the rads is dependent upon motion. | ||
| Ochoa0042 |
they have fans.... I regress, plus the looks would be as good  (Message edited by ochoa0042 on December 05, 2008) | ||

Not so sure on the fans being retained with the race bodywork. Read the end of this thread for reference: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/158 664/380869.html?1220427173 | ||

so do that mean we may see them in superbike races next year? If so I would be awsome to see them mixing it up with the ama top dogs. | ||
| Bads1 |
Well thats today's test times. McWilliams had technical problems. He is suppose run again tonight under the lights | ||
| Bads1 |
To what I understand now from reading more. Jeremy McWilliams is testing Kit parts for teams that may want to race in the class. So we will see. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
well he did pioneer the xbrr in to formula extream maybe he will pioneer the 1125r in the superbike world. | ||

So, how come they didn't get a caveman to ride it? Oh, right, 'cause it isn't really that easy. They need a person that can actually ride and ride with skill. Well, that, and there aren't any cavemen out there. Troglodytes, mouth breathers and knuckle draggers maybe, but no cavemen. And I doubt any of them could ride worth a shit anyway. I can't wait to see Buell on the track against other makes in a form kind of close to what comes out of the factory. Sure, it's neat that they do so well in drag racing, but the NHRA version is like a funny car. Damn little Buell there. It is more realistic in the AHDRA and I like that, but sportbike and superbike is another league altogether. | ||

I may have to ride down to Daytona to confirm these allegations. | ||

Silly question - I know what Superbike and Supersport is, but what is "Sportbike" class? Differences with Superstock? |
