    Something REALLY different

    The first XBRR Buell arrived at work. This is their factory racebike, all carbon bodywork, 1340cc engine with at least 150 hp at the wheel.
    This should liven up BEARS racing, maybe even give some of the Jappers a fright on the tighter tracks.

    It sounds very interesting.

    The Buell XBRR features a modified XB Thunderstorm 1339cc (103.6mm bore x 79.4mm stroke) air/oil-cooled V-Twin motor rated at 150-hp (measured at the crankshaft).
    The long stroke will hold it back hence the the 8000rpm redline and 4167 fpm piston speed..still sounds like a weapon though.

    Buell will produce 50 XBRR motorcycles with a short initial run in late February and the balance made in April. U.S. MSRP is $30,995.

    Does that have the std motor, or the one that Eric modified for Formula extreme at Daytona.
    To get around the "use the same barrels" reg, he melted down some barrels and recast new ones to the specs he wanted! The man sure thinks outside the square!

    Now, now. I think you're getting a little greedy there BB. Maybe I better have it instead, yes I think that's what should happen!

    I thought it was a mini moto at first. 150 at the back wheel is impressive.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    It would be, but its actually 150 at the crank.

    Sounds good though.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Our dyno guys are saying that Buell says it really makes that at the wheel. We'll know soon.
