I'm not sure you understand why the 1125's dont use oil in the swingarm. The oil tank is intergrated into the crankcase like Japanese and other bikes. The XB's, as you all love to point out, uses a derivitive of a Harley engine. They have a need for a seperate oil tank. There was no reason to put the oil in the swing arm on the 1125.
Oh you're right Marko! I'm also mixing last year's "cheater' Buells with this years. They tried to campaign aircooled 1200s in the Formula Extreme class (600s) and didn't do very well. Anyway, I'm actually sorry, I didn't wish to descend into "Buell bashing" territory. As I've said before, it's not that I'm against Buell. I just want them to compete on equal terms and have an American racing effort that I can be proud of! If Eslick wins the Daytona Sportbike championship, I'm not gonna be proud or impressed.
