I don't have a problem with Buell or Erik...he and they are cool. I just have a problem with an 1125 or whatever size bike running against a little 600 and people making a big deal about it when they win.

I know what you mean..

Kinda irks me that a 6 or 7 litre chevy's direct competition are vehicles with half their displacement.

And if you look here.. The acura had less displacement, and beat the chevy by about 3 laps..


I'm just saying.

Thanks, Captain.

It was a jab at Tmall.

Different car types = different classes.

It was the quickest thing I could find. I was hoping for a gtr beating a zr1 on the track.. BUt, it was quicker and easier this way..

What I don't understand is why someone doesn't buy a 999R and wipe the track with the entire class.

Oh and the Buell is FAR from stock Bro... really.

I didn't realize that was the topic. I didn't say anything about chevy's or whatever their direct competition is.

I was at a bikenight the other day and a guy with a Buell started talking smack to a friend and my wife who both ride R6's and I laughed and this thread reminded me of it that's all.

Yeah I've got a Z06...big deal. I had a Mustang before with a Vortech...again big deal.

Newsflash...I owned a Skyline GT when I was stationed in Japan in the Marines too...I'm not brand loyal so again...big deal.

I've owned Mazdas...Hondas...Toyotas...and oh yeah have a NEON SRT-4 in the garage as we speak.

Now back on topic...yeah I find it funny that alot of Buell fans are bragging about beating a 600. Run against the litre bikes and see how it goes. Funny Ducati can do it.

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