Personally I think that those decisions were a load of crap, but I can't hold that against Buell; this wasn't a factory race team, it was privateers taking a bike and competing with it. It is also hard to blame the teams, I mean you go, you race, if the rules give you an advantage you take it. It looks like DMG was simply aiming for a misguided ideal of putting an American bike in a winning position.



True... but racing your 1125 against their 600 is not good marketing because its a hard sell when
prospective customers see they become equal in performance... like double the size does not
equal greater performance... I think it is one of the reasons why Buell had to shut down
production which brought on his demise...

 OMGOMGOMG Nuts

"Hi. I'm Erik Buell. Since you nutjobs took advantage of holes in the rules and raced our 1125 street bikes in the 600 class racing against race-bred machines, I've decided to shut down the company and take away your toys. But don't worry. I'll be back building new and improved 1125 models for you to race with... in the 600 class."

 Lol

You're a hoot, that's what you are.

185rwhp should be close. There will be a ton of electronics though that would need to be applied to make it be competitive. aka traction control etc.

Hey looks, Erik is going into the parts business. I'll take a 6speed trans for an XB and a programable ECU w/USB data port. What you still don't offer a 6speed....
