An 1199cc 200hp twin?
Either unlikely or too high strung to last more than 200 miles between rebuilds.
If the 1198R is only making around 170hp, where do you think Buell/Rotax are getting the other 30?

The Aus mill in the 1125 is buildable. I wont swear to 200 hp but the Duc 1198R can produce 220 at the crankc in WSBK trim and that engine lasts all weekend long in competition. I figure a 1198R in a high state of tune could push 190-200 in the street for a buncha miles under alight right hand. So i dont think a built 1125 would be much different.

Could they come out like that in production, Highly doubtful.and since there is no Buell motor company impossible. Who fronts the capitol?

Erik Buell Racing is showing a Euro Spec 1190 at 185RWHP. It's not 200RWHP, but it's pretty good.
