Hold on a second. The Suzuki almost won the championship last year. It won more races than any other bike including the Buell. At least give credit where credit is due. And to say that Danny cannot ride an inline four is not accurate. He has done very well in the past on inline bikes. I am a Danny Eslick fan as well as a Buell fan. And I still think that the Buell will have a hard time repeating the championship without Danny on it. None of the other Buell riders were able to get the performance out of that Bike that Danny did. Not that Knapp and Higbee are bad riders because they are not. Just Danny and the 1125 were magic. |

Buell2001b--
The Ducati Stoner rides isn't a v-twin.
We get you're a buell fan, but your lack of knowledge about racing is really showing thru now more than ever.
Like Backcountryme said, the M4 Suzuki was Danny's rival last season. Had Martin not broke his hand, who knows how the championship woulda turned out. Be thankful that we got our championship last season. I really think if Danny repeats, it will back up what he did on the Buell last year, and prove that the bike didn't have the huge advantage the nay sayers said it did.
RMR as a team was with Buell for a long time in different classes. They didn't ditch Buell, HD ditched RMR. They had every intention of coming back with Buell for 2010. I'm not gonna speak for Richie Morris, but I'd be willing to bet if Buell comes back or whatever RMR would look into it.
Enjoy and remember last season for what it was, the best year for Buell in their first 26 years. |

Noticed the RMR Suzuki GSX-R600 #1 bike is now entered into the Daytona 200,but Danny Eslick is not listed as the rider, instead To Be Determined is listed as the rider. All of the other 10 bikes pre entered into the Daytona 200 have the riders name allready listed ,I hope this is only a simple paper mistake ,and nothing is wrong with Danny Eslick,and his relationship with RMR . |

Ok a lot of people complain about buell being able to race this year. Buell did actually have a 2010 model year so to me that means they can race in the 2010 season. As opossed to the H-D vr1000 which only had one model year but was allowed to race for several years.
I am happy that Danny Eslick Won Buell its first national title but also remember Buell did the same for him. That being said they will for ever show up in the record books together.
Now that being said I wish him all the luck in the world But if I am watching him race and it is between him and some one running a buell I am going to go for the Buell rider besides I hate suzukis, I did like all of the hayden brothers but I stopped liking the one who is now riding suzukis. |

Man do I feel like crap . . here on the internet with no one to say a bad thing about or anyone to diss.
Last year was a "perfect storm". The Geico, Rossmeyer, RMR, Eslick and Buell folks came together in perfect harmony. I'd be hard pressed to nail down anywhere anyone of them dropped the ball.
The single thing that will stand out in my mind . . . in a world of felon gang wannabe looking racers . . was Danny Eslick's personal class. Win, loose or draw the kid ALWAYS had an ear to ear grin. He was a fierce but fair competitor that, in my mind, took me back to the days when Scott Parker, Chris Carr and Springer would sprint 3 abreast to the line in Springfield or Sacramento.
Danny . . flat out . . is one of the classiest young riders I've seen in years.
It was interesting to me . . as the world squabbled about Buell . . that when Danny won the trophy that the fellows on box #2 and #3 both took a moment, beyond what would merely be polite to compliment Danny as a person and as a rider.
I like people like that and can't help but wish Danny and RMR all the best.

My 9 year old and I were talking about this just last night... we hope the best for Danny and RMR, and hope you are the very first rider to come in behind whatever EBR bike is running.  |

Point me to the wording in the rules that states that what you are riding has to have produced motorcycles for that year.
....I'll be waiting.....a very long time I think. |

I'm hoping to see a couple of great podiums at the first AMA race of the season at Daytona. In DSB an 1125 Buell, hopefully first, and then Eslick and Cardenas side by side also at they have given us some of the absolutely best racing I have seen in a long time back to what Court said about the mile. Others also made it a supurb season. In Superbike hopefully a Buell on the podium somewhere and maybe another twin. If by chance Erik could get an 1190 entered, maybe a first place. Hoorah. That would put all the naysayers to rest forever. Can't wait, Bob |

The rules are pretty clear and do not require the bike to have ANY production in the year they are raced. Once homolugated for the class they are in until such a time as the rules change to remove the general type of bike or the organizing body edcides to remove the homolugation.
Buells should be good until such a time as they become uncompetitive. |

>>>.Buell did actually have a 2010 model year so to me that means they can race in the 2010 season.
I'm not sure where you got that but year of production has nothing to do with eligibility.
The rules, as Dave said . . .essentially say that once a bike is in it's in until the rules change. A 2010 1125R could be racing 5 years from now the way the rules are written. |

So, doesn't that mean that the 1125RR is good in AMA Super Bike until the rules change? |

The 1125RR is legal for American Sport Bike until either the rules change or until DMG decides to remove it from the list of homologated bikes - that's totally their call. |

Slight correction, Diablo, the 1125RR is legal for Superbike the 1125R is legal for Sportbike.
Here is the OFFICIAL list of homologated bikes, updated Jan. 13th of this year:

You're right Elvis. I typed "A S B" and the danged software retyped it by itself to American Sport Bike. It is American Superbike for the RR. |
