...and before the bashing begins. Since the DSB rules were soooo unfair, it should be easiy for you to come up with a better set of rules. Answer this question:
How would you create a class where Twins can compete with 600cc inlines with an EQUAL chance of winning???
Keep in mind, te best middleweight twin in the world is the Duc 848, and it cannot hang with a 600cc inline on the track.

There were other ways Buell kept the speed down while playing with the little kids
Remember, Eslick personally applying the duct tape to his 1125R bodywork

Last I saw, Buell won a championship. Even after HD basically dared them to compete in DSB, because they couldn't compete with the Jap I4s.

Class-based racing is fun when you're watching the 600s street-derived super sports. I think that's my favorite class-based racing. But it's not the end-all of racing. I don't profess to being any kind of racing expert. In fact, I've said on a number of occasions, I like watching it, but I don't "follow" racing at all any more. It seems to me that class-based racing becomes more of a factory pissing match as time goes on. Meh... |

This year will be interesting...Steve Rapp is racing a Duc 848 in the DSB class. I think there will still be a Buell or two raced, so that will be good. |

Good stuff. If you are the kind of rider that likes to push a sportbike to it's handling limits...the 1125 handles amazingly well and is scary fast. As a matter fact, the sun is out today and I am going for a ride. |

Actually good advice for you. You should ignore the Buell section since EB and the 1125 both bother you so much. I wish EB best of luck in starting a new motorcycle company in the near future. Good to hear that is his intention. |

It's a F'n bike fourm. Why do you few stalkers keep talking about me at a personal level. Talk about the bikes, example. start example of how to post on a motorcycle fourm" Harley has made such a HUGE mistake. Buell was making the coolest sexiest bikes evaaaaaaaa. They were flying off shelves. Its pure politics, in fact the highly reliable 1125 series was keeping the company flush in cash. Dealers could not keep enough of them as customer demand was so overwhelming. And the looks, shame to the Italians, Buell was able to magically take parts from a thin small air cooled bike and sculpture perfect smooth well thought out parts that transitioned a sum fa greater than the parts. Perfect from every angle. I cant wait to se what Buell can do next now that he will not be constrained but the Harley research money."  End exampleIf you want to hit-on me thinking I'm gay for pay I guess it depends on how much cash you have. Otherwise say it with me "Motorcycle Fourm - Buell section, Eric Interview " |

Serious guys (that's plural), get a life, get out and ride. The same old crap coming up in every Buell thread is getting really old. I started this particular thread in the hope that there might be some discussion of engineering, race bike design, race strategy, etc. It's probably too late to rescue this topic but if we stay at this level we may as well move lock stock and barrel to Jo Momma..
