The b2 bike is very real. I was at the races today and talked to geoff. He didn't do very well at Ohio . The bike never gave him a chance as it shut down electrically . What a shame.But he did say a release of the b2 is underway for next year as a production bike . Wow cool stuff !! A street version and a track version. I then watched part of the 1200 class that I thought was a joke.Everyone was laughing at the riders as they did the laps for placement. | ||

If true, thats the best news I've heard on this entire forum. | ||

Don't take mine or geoffs word but a press release will soon surface.geoff is a great guy to talk with but the info isn't from the horse himself. So don't get to hyped.Goeff did say he test rode it twice and it was a fricken screamer. It is alot narrower along with being lighter and of course the 1190 powerplant. Didn't ask a price. I assume it will be priced at 15 street or 20k for the race. Considering that it won't be that mass produced. Who knows we all could be in for a surprise. | ||

you should all venture out into the other topics on this forum and see what is going on in the world. Erik did an interview on pit pass radio and told everything we need to know for now. I'm sure HD is not coming out with a B2 but Erik Buell Racing will be coming out with an 1190 somthing bad a$$. | ||

Actually I think it was Geoff May who was interviewed. | ||

rde48 I believe you're the one that has to do the research. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
That's wonderful to hear and I hope its true, but is Geoff May the new Erik Buell Racing spokesperson? | ||

what is a B2? | ||

This is a B2 "Barracuda". http://www.greatmotocycles.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2010/03/Barracuda-2-Buell.jpg | ||

Are you sure the B2 was at the track? I thought it was crushed.  | ||
| Tq_freak |
I highly doubt there was only one 'Cuda and I am sure a Very wise man probably knew where he could hind on or two on the way out. | ||

I heard from a very trusted source that there were FIVE B2s in the factory when we were @ homecoming. He also went on to tell me that he sat on one of the 5. He showed me and a fellow badwebber a picture of a the production version B2, a white one. If you are near Kenosha WI, you could possibly see this image of the white B2 for yourself. I could not think of a better place for an image of the future of Buell. (Message edited by barker on July 18, 2010) | ||

The cuda and b2 were two different bikes. The b2 was the picture of erik crouched on it on his facebook page. It has the tight/small tail. I asked geoff what it looked like. He handed me a signed poster autograph and said it's that bike in the picture. But like I said don't take geoffs or my word on it. There is a few engine parts that is in development as we speak. Those parts will be offered late fall. | ||

Sorry I meant to say 'Cuda 2, Thought it was understood I was talking about the B2 | ||

I want one of those airbox lids..... | ||
| Coolice |
Thanks Zac4 mac, but the 1190RR at Blackhawk is Erik Buell Racing's machine. I wish we had a couple of those in the stable...... | ||

I kept checking out the bike in the truck, and could not tell what it was. Different bodywork than the one that was out of the truck. Also, where are they racing the 1190? I thought Geoff May was to pilot a 1125RR in AMA American Superbike, but had not heard of any U.S. class even allowing an 1190. | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
ponti1, from what i could tell the one in the truck is a DSB 1125r, you can tell becuase of the large tail and the pods on the side have the ram air scoops on it from GSD. and it has a blue frame lol. Jake | ||
| Bueller4ever |
What are on the sides of that air box cover? | ||

> What are on the sides of that air box cover? Stompgrip. Boy, I am unobservant. I didn't even see the StompGrip there. I thought he was referring to the trim pieces that are toward the front, nearer where the frame joins to steering head area. | ||

He raced the 1190 at Road America in CCS over the 4th of July. Was way cool! |
