That's not too bad! I wonder where they were before?

Good question. I dont have that answer.

With no offense meant to Mr. knapp, sounds like my engine has alot more potential. Really though is it a level playing field even from a DMG standpoint, power to weight. Has the non homologation special been weighed and dyno'ed? Will the mods granted it be allowed next week for the in line fours?

Good luck Mr. knapp, this may be your one opportunity at stardom...

I love Buell, I really do and I am looking for a Firebolt 12r for a track bike. However, this bike is a bit over priced considering what else is available like a 1098R which actually competes against liter bikes in FIM instead of supersports in AMA. Also, the 1098R is street legal.

I am sure Harley will have MV Agusta do it's racing for them. They will do a 1k version of the 312rr (1078 for this year) when Harley gets them back in shape. JK--I am sure they will both race.

So what do you all think about Buell's performance at Mid Ohio?

Buell raced SS. I didn't see the results.

Race results:

Spoiler:
Superbike finished 12th. Not bad. DSB the Buell finished 1st in both races.

In their own rule book it states that a bike has to be a certified streetbike to compete. That the bike must be available to the public for purchase. Does anyone doubt that Suzuki could produce a pretty awesome GSXR1000R race only bike for $40,000? I'm sorry, I honestly want an American company to race here and win here but without bending the rules. Without having the sanctioning body helping them. Without cheating!:pat:

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but it just seems fucked up to me.
HD has cheated since the Indian war for the military bikes. you expect something new now?
