Channel surfing yesterday, caught the NHRA Pro Stock M/C qualifiers from Vegas...Didn't realize so many folks ride Buells in this series! I was curious what they're riding, and generally what kind of mods they've made. Dang those things are quick!

Fuzzz, those are only "Buells" according to the NHRA rules. They (like the "V-Rod") bear no actual association with any production bike beyond the "buell-like" bodywork and the fact they are gasoline burning v-twin motorcycles.

The chassis is Kosman, the engine is a 160 cu in S&S specialty. All sorta got started by George Brice of Star Racing if my info is correct. He was the man that put greats like Angelle and my old friend Johnny Meyers in the spotlight. They build Suzukis then.

At a recent race, someone showed up with one decaled up as a "Triumph".
