[clutch]

dry baby dry!  we lose 23% HP from the shaft drive.

I said SHAFT, lol

N8!

I still say nothing will change if the triumph is lightweight legal. Very few if any will make the race track. With the triumph in middleweight class it will get KILLED by GSXR/R6/ZX!!!

Thats irrelevant.  It may get beat in MW, but you can at least build that thing stronger than it is to be competative.  In LW you CANT build a SV SB to match the HP of the Triumph in just stock form.  Not being many out there..well, suppose 2 show up for expert when they are going for money.

MUTUAL!    Buells schmool, I love spankin Buells!  Sv guys are my friends... lol  We got the Beemer into the 53's @ Daytona. Hey lookin forward to daytona, oh yeah we shaved 10 lbs. off the BMW, she is down to 460 something.

N8!, why the H8?

Come on. Fess up now. You have friends who ride Buells.  ;)

with that line of thought...should we then allow every
MW bike that gets beat by a better or newer bike to run LW? Don't think so.

[TommyG]

No need to get huffy boys. We just disagree that`s all. Until the performance of the triumph is actually known and not just speculation this whole thread is irrelevant. Nate brought up marketing of the BMW a few posts ago and who`s to say that triumph isn`t pulling the same stuff? This wouldn`t be the first time triumph claimed a bike was going to be more than it was!

The Beemer is a completely different species than this damn 675 Triple, liquid cooled, 323lb dry, 123hp, 53ftlb torque machine

 ???Money. There's money in LW?? Do you know something I don't? "SHOW ME THE MONEY" ;D

[n8kern]

ok, I have 2 Buell friends, P.James and D.Estok.  THATS IT! ok R.Conwrath and his buddy with the belly!

L8r, N8!

123 CLAIMED hp!! 53ftlb CLAIMED!! You guys don`t want it in lightweight and I am fine with that. I`m just saying I bet this thing ends up having about 90 hp at the rear wheel(dynojet). If it`s a torque monster and it lightens up with race prep Ed Key would probably have met his match!!

[PJ721]

if a stock '92 F2 can't run LW because it's able to be built up...then a stock '06 T-675 with whatever HP it's got shouldn't be allowed either.

and comparing the T-675 with the BMW isnt right...the BMW weighs a quite a bit more...and for Nate to hussle that monster around they way he does - god bless him.
