This thing better be a monster of a bike. The price, the failures of the XBRR, the initial reports of the 1125R. Good god it better be awesome.

Though I must say...the BADDEST sounding bike I've ever heard in my life was a XBRR race bike at my track day in Pocono. Good lord that thing sounded like it was fueled by dead children.

where it should have been at the start IMO. im curious to see how it does. Fagan had some pretty scathing things to say about the ZTLs and in frame gas. we'll see.

I hope they are competitive, should be interesting. Finally in the right class. I agree with Tigger, don't know why the showa crap is even on it.

I hope the pace car doesn't attempt to kill anyone again. I still can't believe NASCAR controls the motorcycle racing in this country....

Okay here comes a little hate! Um why don't the rules apply to Buell? Don't the other motorcycle manufacturers have to field STREET bikes in the American Superbike class? In their own rule book it states that a bike has to be a certified streetbike to compete. That the bike must be available to the public for purchase. Does anyone doubt that Suzuki could produce a pretty awesome GSXR1000R race only bike for $40,000? I'm sorry, I honestly want an American company to race here and win here but without bending the rules. Without having the sanctioning body helping them. Without cheating!

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but it just seems fucked up to me.

well motocyz aimed way too high. fisher doesnt build their own engines. roehr is 1200cc, supercharged, and still slower than a gixer 1k. and buell is very busy being an american bmw. did i miss any?
