Anyone else read this article in the latest Motorcyclist? We're all used to the whining about "unfair advantages" that were topics during the entire 2009 AMA race season, but something in this article caught my attention. "This is just the latest racing controversy surrounding Buell, a brand heavily invested in AMA Pro Racing (Buell is the Official Pace and Safety Bike) and already seen by many to benefite from preferential treatment in the Daytona Sportbike class. The AMA rulebook clearly states that American Superbikes must be based on motorycles that are "stree-certified for use in the United States"--a condition that the 1125RR clearly doesn't meet. Not only that, it uses a larger airbox and intake manifolds than the standard 1125R--changes that are prohibited for other machines. If the airbox and intake manifold differences are really the case, then it does sound like Buell has an unfair advantage and isn't abiding by the letter of AMA law. | ||

The AMA worked with Buell to allow all the changes to the 1125RR to be legal. Now everyone's crying because everyone else doesn't automatically get to do the same modifications, and would have to go through the same approval process Buell did. It's so unfair to make all those other manufactures put in the same work as Buell isn't it? | ||

The RR does not race 600's (Daytona Sportbike) It races against 1000's (American Superbike) |
