I'll say that I like it a lot and if I can come up with the support, I'd  race one!

[Jeff]

it was the FIRST buell that I ever looked at and said "Damn, I could actually see racing that"

[zeroice]

Yeah, no doubt!!! awesome bike

[tstruyk]

I think its a move in the right direction... a little more conventional.

I'd race 'er

[SnacktimeKC]

I'd love to race it, Buell pays well too. I'm assuming they are only "Unlimited" legal?

game on. Been looking at the 12rs for a long time looking for a cheap opportunity. This will be good.

[Super Dave]

I'd race one.  But I'd race anything with two wheels on a road course.

I think it's reasonably conventional with a little of the Buell flair thrown in.  It's a bit unique in a world where everything is kind of the same.

Sure is going to make the Inside Pass training event a great 9 events.

I'm thinking.....Game On...:)

Whats not to like (outside of the belt drive)?
Power
Weight
Rotax Reliability
Buell Handling
Contingency Dollars
.....
Am I Missing something here?

Oh yeah, a dealer relationship to sign up for one for next season...

Any ideas?

I'm sure we will see them at the track next year, but to me it seems limited in the number classes you could run.  I wonder if the AMA will allow the bike to be run in superbike?

New rules permit 1200 cc twin with weight limit.
