Great video. I think the my favorite part is seeing the enthusiasm of everyone there and the excitement of the smallest little details.

"We're really proud of it."

As well you should be.

I don't believe this would have ever happened if HD had not closed Buell. In some ways, I guess we should be grateful of what happened.

What a way to get my eyes open this am.

Amazing. And Erik, simply the best. Engineering is his signature on this bike, there is no doubt.

230hp....hmmmm

The facility is larger than I had imagined. Appears to be not much smaller then the old Buell factory.

Awesome video. Who is the dude in the black shirt? What is his race team that he is putting Shawn Higbee on? Are they racing AMA?

Radiators able to handle upto 230HP???? Makes ya wonder what is going in the future!!!

It's right next door, I think it's the same size as the other building.

Great video! All that room for expansion... Wonder if Erik Buell Racing is hiring? Ah to dream silly dreams and yearn to work for people with real purpose, motivation and a vision.

But I guess I should have.

You guys are going to be Snoopy Dog Dancing . . . . .

Nothing quite like a gifted engine-prenuer scorned.

I'm loving this.

By the way . . . I've made bets with two of you about 2014. . . I intend to collect.

"So.... How do I fit those rads on my 1125?"

Bring a big wallet.

IIRC the parts alone cost more than what I paid for my 1125R.

Part 1 is them traveling from their hotel in Milwaukee to East Troy, Part 2 is the tour and Part 3 is the delivery. Part 4 will take place when the bike arrives in Cali.

So, if this bike is going to be raced why not just buy the race version without the lights, etc? What am I missing here?

There is none for sale that I know, likely to avoid the whole "it's a cheater bike" inane nonsense that the haters and naysayers drummed up concerning the 1125RR Superbike effort.

Another wonderful video Rob! Thank you.

...at one point in the video he says the reason he is buying the street version is so he can put the lights back on it and sell it to get some of his money back if need be.

When people say it's too expensive they need to see that.
When you really see the details, all the custom, hand-built parts mostly of carbon and billet aluminum, it's amazing that it's only $40K.
Custom one-off bikes built with that quality are twice as expensive.

They might be doing:

1. Super Secret work on the new street bikes.

2. Asbestos abatement.

3. ?
