I dunno, if I had one, I wouldn't be doing too much sitting if you catch my drift.

You guys saw that this was a 'Proof of Concept' based on a $45k racebike, yes?

Yes.

But doesn't seem like a (much) more reasonably priced street model would be a big stretch. Hell, go to cast masters as opposed to the billet ones and you'll drop $1,000 - 1,500. I'm sure a lot of dosh is wound up in the engine of that race bike. Go with the production version of that  engine, save more and on and on.

Clean-up in aisle 'Stu's shorts'...

Like it...the XB is what made me look at the monster and when Buell folded, I shed tears. I will still buy an XB Lightening as a second bike, hmmm. maybe I will make my own frankenstein, shoe horn a ducati 1100 monster engine in it!

"The first photos and details of the Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon, a concept built by Pegasus, the largest Buell race team in the world. The Erik Buell Racing 1190RR that the Typhon is based on is Erik Buell Racing’s flagship superbike racer. Derived from the 1125R, this 1190cc v-twin puts out 185hp at the rear wheel and 93lb/ft of torque. It’s incredibly light too, weighing just 163kg/360lbs (dry). " source: Hell For Leather Magazine

Great. Now Wes Siler is gonna be bugging me for his 2 dollars!

I'd hit it (even though it probably has that crappy Buell sound).  Those brakes still weird me out though.

I bet it hits you before you hit it

[Spidey]

f'n Buells.

Great looking concept! That radiator looks massive!

so when is it going to start dominating AMA Pro SuperSport?

They have to re-write the rules again so only the Buell can win.  it will come.

Buell should have done something like that a lot sooner. Maybe he'd still be in the bigger business.

i don't know but i would assume his balls were in a vise for a long time after signing up with HD.  he was using those HD lumps for a while and the 1125 was the first "real" sportbike they made.
