quote:1.2 Homologation of Motorcycles a. Only motorcycles homologated by AMA Pro Racing may be used in AMA Pro Racing-sanctioned road racing competition. b. Homologation procedure information and applications are available from the AMA Pro Racing office. c. AMA Pro Racing will only review applications for homologation from motorcycle manufacturers or their distributors. d. Once a motorcycle has been approved, it may be used until such time that the homologated motorcycle no longer complies with the technical rules. e. Compliance with homologation requirements will not guarantee AMA Pro Racing approval. Homologation may be withheld or withdrawn for any reason AMA Pro Racing deems is in the best interest of competition. f. A list of eligible motorcycle models for each racing class is available from the AMA Pro Racing office. g. Additional homologation requirements for each class are listed in the associated class standards section. Each motorcycle will have a Technical Information Form (henceforth known as TIF).
As long as the AMA considers it homologated, its homologated. There's no reason the 'race use only' 1125r bikes built by Erik Buell Racing couldn't be considered 2010 Buell 1125Rs with the VIN stamped over. Do the (rumors?) that there won't be any 2010 Suzukis in the States mean that there won't be any GSXRs racing in any AMA pro series in 2010? Doubtfull. (Message edited by nik on November 20, 2009) |

Great, Nik, but that won't work forever. At some point, the 1125 will become uncompetitive or it's mechanical makeup will change so much as to no longer resemble the homologated bike. Considering HD is giving it's blessing to this endeavor by licensing the use of the 1125 and it appears EBR will be operating out of the current factory complex AND "veteran personal" are being kept on, I'm beginning to believe Buell Motorcycle company MIGHT be revived at some point in the future IF the economy improves. |

A bit of speculation here...but Erik very likely signed a non-compete agreement with HD. Producing 'race only' bikes would not violate that agreement as Harley doesn't produce race bikes. Apparently, Erik was able to work this out with the approval of someone at HD. He is able to continue his R&D until any non-compete would expire, then he would be well positioned to return to streetbikes. This is actually pretty good news. With Suzuki announcement, 2010 is looking to be a weak year for new model sales anyways. |

Who says its for forever? My initial thoughts on reading the press release was that it might be a way to keep Erik and Company in the sportbike business without violating any kind of non-compete agreements with the Murdership. But this is all just speculation. I'm really excited to see what the future holds. [edit] aww too slowwwww.... (Message edited by nik on November 20, 2009) |

Buell started as a racing company. This is a return to their roots. There is more to racing than the AMA and WSBK. All in good time my friends....Erik has a plan. |

Didn't Erik start off by building 50 bikes a year, in order for his bikes to qualify for AMA racing? All he needs to do is build 50 street legal bikes for his new model to be AMA approved. Or is this just wishful thinking? |

“We’ve got some exciting race development projects in the works" Since EBR has not yet started, is it fair to assume that Erik was able to keep some of his patents and IP??? |
