Jealous? More like fed up with them being granted pardons to run their bike in the wrong class.
If Buell built a solid race bike and won races with it in the proper class, I would certainly be excited to see them do it and give them props.
They haven't.
If suzuki started bringing built literbikes to 600 Superstock races and was winning, would you listen when people started touting about the bike and the brand and how great they are? Or would you laugh? I'm laughing at Buell.

Erik, stop making excuses. Run the 1125 in Superbike or get out.  |
Exactly.

Put it in Superbike where the competition will be closer to the same displacement and see how things go then. I think that will make the Buell a better bike, and it will definitely increase the respect it gets.

Exactly.

As I've already mentioned...I like Buells...just not some of the dick headed owners. |
Plus motherfucking one.
