I almost choke laughing every time they mention how crappy the Buell's brakes are (no offense). If they could get away with it, they'd be gone I bet! I'm not even sure if they still are running all the fuel in the frame (I didn't think there was enough capacity). I'm pretty sure that they've given up on the oil in the swing arm. The belt drive was the first thing to go... Is this thing still a Buell? It seems that all the things that make it a superb street bike (by all accounts) make it a horrible race bike...
fast bikes has been railing against the ZTL brake for a while now. been wondering how long it would take for similar sentiments to leak out from the race effort. to go with your race bike comment, ive read that the RS3 cube was a really sweet bike to ride until you went for that last 5%. then it tried to eat you
