Apparently a belt drive is no good there Marko.
And Z06, yes it will compete against Japanese 600's and the Aprilia RSV(1000cc). Not sure if the 848 competes though. |

And American Superbike is 1000cc inline 4's, is it not? Can't wait till Tigger gets in here to take a shit on it. Same song and dance from that one trick pony.

I dont know...I can only assume they would argue that it is a mass produced bike in the form of the stock R. But the press release says otherwise...so I dont know how they got it in. Then again, I really dont care. I dont closely follow racing. I dont get bent out of shape over it. Direct from Buell.com: Quote:

ok i missed all this cause I was picking up a new 1125R. BUT, does anyone remember the ohlins shod R1 LE? The R7? Lmt Ed race specials have been out before...Should a bike that can be hopped up as a special deserve to race against 1000s? Yeah, same bike stock against 600s nah, but DMG is insane so there you have it. Power to weight is their only measure and fixing the rules to cause unatural parity is NASCAR at its finest. wrong, you bet, but it will happen.
