To their "credit" they would almost have to be to make the hp limit. If they so much as change the heat range in their spark plugs it could put them over!

To be honest, I actually believe that they have shot themselves in the foot here. They started out strong but now the other teams have gotten their bikes sorted out and have figured out how to make the aforementioned 140 ponies and keep their bikes running. I also think that at first the factories were kinda, "who cares" about this series but after getting spanked a couple of times, they have stepped to the plate with some more support. Hence, the successive wins by 600s in this class. I will seriously laugh my fucking ass off if the "Official Bike of DMG/AMA Racing" doesn't win this series! To me that would be a HUGE slap in the face to Eric Buell considering the rules. All you Buell guys might want to take a vacation from the site or put me on ignore if that happens!

I laugh everytime a 1100cc gets beat by a freak 600cc bike on that track. That's incredibly sad in the professional world. I wonder what the Euros think of the pathetic excuse for a series.

Just pissed that your reason to bash buell was also used by one of the big 4?

After all, they never added weight to the rc51 when it was dominating. Nope, everybody loved it when nickey was kicking ass on it.

The only difference is that buell makes shitty bikes that are beating the Japanese sewing machines. Now, you're all butt hurt about it.

Oh well
Butt hurt? Don't flatter yourself. Honestly, I think it's pathetic at best.

For the record, though, I've never been one to bash Buell. I really like their streetbikes, particularly the Xb12S.

I do, however, think that if Erik wants to go roadracing, he should pull up his big girl panties and race the 1125 where it belongs- Superbike.

Add
-Race pipe (slip on)
-Tuner
-Chain drive
-Race brake pads
-Race tires
-Full fairings

The first races were done without the tuner as it wasn't working correctly yet.
