This  is a question for anyone who may know. Does Buell still manufacture the XBRR racer? I know its had alot of negative press, and its results have been.... well dismal. But I love the thing! I wish I could own one. If you go to Google video, enter XBRR in your search, you come up with a number of choices. Well, the review by I believe "Moto Sportage" a French TV show is sooo cool. A real pro rider hammering around the Magny Cours circuit. Because I am computer stupid, I do not know how to transfer the video. I am sorry. Oh, by the way its the video with photo of the rider tucked behind the bubble! Bike sounds the business too, even though its way too quiet. Regards, Dan

I made an error in my report of the video. The video is called "Reportage Moto Sport" Regards, Dan

I saw one at the Buell homecoming event at RA (under the semi), but I'm not sure if it was someone's personal bike.

I'm sure Paul J will know.

They made a run of 50 bikes, and that was it.  It seems the bike was sort of a test mule for developing race parts for the XB line.  A host of the engine features have made it into the 2008 Firebolt.  These changes should make the '08 bike much more reliable.  Check out www.buell.com to read about the changes.  The factory continues to supply the parts and support to the racers who purchased one and all of the parts are still available.
