Default Speaking of Buell and the AMA/DMG Roadracing Series...

Buell Now The Official Bike of DMG
by dean adams
Tuesday, June 02, 2009
DMG execs just announced this morning at a Buell media day that Buell is now the official safety bike of the DMG roadrace series. Presumably it will be replacing the safety car, but won't be in use at Elkhart.

One of the most controversial moves that DMG made after buying the AMA series from the AMA's Rob Dingmann was to make the 1100cc, 150 horepower Buell legal in Daytona Sport Bike & Supersport.

There was wide speculation at Miller last weekend that the Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda factory and or factory-supported teams will be exiting the current AMA/DMG roadrace series after this season concludes.

ENDS

I guess thats one way to get Buell to ever win a race.... Make all the bikes in the race a Buell.

Exactly! Its been downhill since they started giving Honda a displacement advantage to run their 2 cylinder bike!

Stupid racing series!

Yeah! Racing a 1000cc twin against 750cc I-4s is totally unacceptable! There's no reason anyone should ever need an advantage like that! I mean, it's not like they are racing a water-cooled 1125cc twin against a bunch of 600cc I-4s or anything!

Meh, an advantage is an advantage.

Just pissed that your reason to bash buell was also used by one of the big 4?

After all, they never added weight to the rc51 when it was dominating. Nope, everybody loved it when nickey was kicking ass on it.

The only difference is that buell makes shitty bikes that are beating the Japanese sewing machines. Now, you're all butt hurt about it.

Oh well

When buell was running a 1400cc air cooled and was losing, did anybody care?

I say let's let ducati bring the 1098 and add it to the mix. Buell would still have a cc advantage and no wins.

If the rules say they can, the privateers should be doing it and whomping on the buells. If nobody chooses to do it, who's fault is that?
