That it's not stock is all... EB claims that they are racing his bike stock.

Here the other thing, what would you say if it were Suzuki fielding an 1125cc machine in the 600cc class?

...or the 600's with power adders.

....sorry I just had to.

Yeah I know power adders aren't really good for roadracing...just saying...

Again, I'm not anti-Buell at all. I think they make cool streetbikes and have some really innovative ideas. I just don't think they should need nearly double the displacement of Japanese machinery to be competitive.

But your 600 isn't going to lap anywhere near as fast as a factory 600 either.

That's mostly because of the hack in the saddle.

Still, I would wager that the 600s are as close, or closer, to stock than the 1125R is. It really doesn't take much to turn a modern 600 into a Supersport race bike.

That still doesn't explain why the Buell needs such a huge displacement advantage.

I don't know that it does, it's just the only size that it's made in.

If Erik is right about what DMG was trying to do, the difference doesn't matter, the Buells will start getting weight added to them, didn't the same thing happen to Ducati in BSB?

Oh, if you think their bikes are breaking the rules, get a bike, and file a complaint, or get a buell and start winning?

Jealous? More like fed up with them being granted pardons to run their bike in the wrong class.

If Buell built a solid race bike and won races with it in the proper class, I would certainly be excited to see them do it and give them props.

They haven't.

If suzuki started bringing built literbikes to 600 Superstock races and was winning, would you listen when people started touting about the bike and the brand and how great they are? Or would you laugh? I'm laughing at Buell.

Erik, stop making excuses. Run the 1125 in Superbike or get out.

Exactly.

Put it in Superbike where the competition will be closer to the same displacement and see how things go then. I think that will make the Buell a better bike, and it will definitely increase the respect it gets.

Exactly.

As I've already mentioned...I like Buells...just not some of the dick headed owners.

Plus motherfucking one.

my point is your useless fanboy post corroborated something tigger said earlier. it struck me as funny that you would unintentionally help him out so i commented.

Rsv1000R · 05-13-2009, 12:43 PM

I heard that the AMA dyno'd the top 10(?) finishers at Road Atlanta, and added 15#'s to the Buells.

So does that make you sissy girls feel better?

Trip · 05-13-2009, 12:48 PM

No, we think it's hilarious the only way they can compete is to race against engines much smaller than their own. It's fucking hilarious at the complete and utter incompetence of their engineering department that they can't make an engine that large to compete on the same level as other people operating twins in that displacement range.
