As an engineer, if he decided to start his own company, he might have to prove his ideas and designs weren't made using company resources. That entitles HD to ownership of his designs. So he may not have had a choice, but to give HD choice of if they wanted to use those designs.

![]() Cool, now maybe they'll start using Pirelli tires as well. ![]() ![]() Naw, I welcome competition! The races were getting boring with Suzuki winning all of them, for the past DECADE btw. As a race fan, I enjoy tight racing but Hayes even admitted that Mat had a bad race or two. Subsequent races have proven that Mat and the GSXR1000 are the bike to beat... I think that BB was over 20 secs back. Not my idea of "competitive". Yay, all of the sanctioning bodies have realized that V-Twins suck!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A V-twin is possibly the best street bike engine EVER produced. Okay fine but why race them then? You consistently say that "the Buell is a street bike", why insist on racing it? ![]() ![]() When did I "whine"? I don't care about what type of bikes other guys ride. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() I hear what you are saying about the exhaust weight, etc. That's not new. I have no idea why they don't all do it. ![]() As far as oil in the swing arm and gas in the frame, well he's already given up on one... ![]() Okay, they do not have the same hp stock. Whether or not the 600 teams can come up with a way to produce that much hp/tq and keep their bikes in one piece will be a testament to THEIR ingenuity and hard work, not a validation of the "fairness" of the rules in the first place. Quite frankly, all this little exercise is going to accomplish is to spotlight how inferior the Buell is when it gets beaten by a bunch of 600s. ![]() Last edited by Amber Lamps; 06-09-2009 at 11:36 AM.. |

More low-end than an I-4, along with cooler sound. Also, less vibration than a twin under full throttle, and doesn't feel like it's going to stall out or break its connecting rods if you lug it. Last edited by Homeslice; 06-09-2009 at 11:34 AM.. |
