You lost me there... Speed covers the entire WSBK season.

it'd be awesome to see Buell there... I think it'd really pay dividends for the 1125r... in sales as well as R&D

as hideous as i find their products id really like to see it as well. competition improves the product, and id really like to see them put their money where their mouth is on some things

ehh I think they're an aquired taste... I personally think the 999 and the MV F4 are ugly... but most love'm...

not say'n I think the buell's are gorgeous... but not hidious.

The only thing is the 1125R was never built to be a racer... it was built for the street first... I think it'd do alright... I think I remember reading a 1125r vs 1098 and there wasn't much between them...

Remember, Erik Buell was a racer. He loves racing...Buell has a great contingency program for it's racers.

First and foremost, Buell makes street bikes...but they'll go racing. Give it time.

Yeah but WSBK gets the red headed stepchild treatment... they usually don't play the weekends WSBK races until Tuesday.

Nah I think that they have been playing the SBK races "same day" but the SS races and a repeat of the SBK races on Tuesday. I didn't have Speed last season so I'm not sure...
