Agreed, I wasn't trying to justify the Buell being in the 600 class, I was trying to say that the Buell "SHOULD" be competitive in the SBK class along with the Duc and it certainly wouldn't be. 1100-1200 Vtwins should easily be capable of competing with 1-4 liter bikes.

Obviously AMA and HD are in bed together so the AMA is doing everything possible to promote Buell and to get them a championship.
