I love the Buell product, but why in the world is a nearly-1200cc bike racing against 600cc bikes? Why isn't the 1125R racing against the likes of Ducati in Superbike?

Daytona Superbike? Then whatever Edmunson wants in, is in.

However the real answer is the bottom line. The rules are set to maximize the profitability of the series. And it really really needs profitability.

Anybody notice?
The "American Superbike" race was last night. Pegram has a 200MPH Ducati. Gee, I wonder who won?

Sorry but,... Thats because the Harley would get its ass handed to them by the Ducati. Although Iam sure the amount of Volumetric efficiency is compairable between both bikes. Besides we gotta make it a show and give the Harley a chance, right? J/K!

Seeing Eslick's batwing hanging off the side of the bike didn't exactly instill confidence in the side-radiator design. How did it happen? I missed that part.

Harley definatly showed they have the pit thing down to a science, they spent more time in the pits then anyone. Eslick looked to be really strong before his little mishap though. Where was Barnes?
