That's pretty cool. I do believe I will be attending the races at Mid-Ohio in July.

A pace bike instead of a pace car for bike races?
What a novel idea

I question whether the other riders will notice that it is a pace bike in front of them when they're hauling arse around the track. This might be more dangerous than the car.

Put a Drummer on it. "Oh crap the pace bike must be out again."

If they can't see all those strobes flashing they shouldn't be racing in the first place.

The race 1125R's are already mighty loud, although nothing was as loud as McWilliams /Warr's XBRR.

I really like that a lot. Especially the AMERICAN flag coming off the front of the pod AND being flown properly...

NICE!
Wouldn't be hard to copy on a street 1125R either.
Just need the race fairings and some vinyl decals

Do we have to chain ourselves to the Buell office doors to make them give us this fairing on a street bike?

After looking at those pictures pictures again I wonder; Under stop and go conditions how much heat would be trapped by a full fairing on a streetbike?

There are lots of hoses, tubing etc. on the right side of the bike that you wouldn't want to get too hot and those headers are pretty close.

It's cool that they used the same TIR3 strobes I got for the Ulysses. . . the things put out a TON of light!

Can't wait to see the bike!

I hope to God Buell will be selling 1125R's that look like that pace bike. That's what the bike should have looked like in the first place, less the decals of course.

That 1125R looks fantastic compared to the stock 08-09. New look for 2010?? Hope so as I am sure that would help sales. That is the number 1 complaint from non-Buellers I have heard of the 1125R. Ugly but that sure isn't

Easily visible from at least about half way down the front straight at Road America on a sunny day.

Yes, it is.
