I am pretty impressed and in love... From "hell for leather" blog: "The first photos and details of the Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon, a concept built by Pegasus, the largest Buell race team in the world. The Erik Buell Racing 1190RR that the Typhon is based on is Erik Buell Racing’s flagship superbike racer. Derived from the 1125R, this 1190cc v-twin puts out 185hp at the rear wheel and 93lb/ft of torque. It’s incredibly light too, weighing just 163kg/360lbs (dry). Watching Pegasus win the last Sound of Thunder race of the 2010 season at Oschersleben, their 1190RR would initially lose ground to bikes like the BMW S1000RR out of the last corner as it struggled to keep its front wheel on the ground, but the Erik Buell Racing had so much power that it would still be passing the BMWs before that straight’s braking zone. Perfect basis for a naked bike then."  | ||

Sweet! Thanks. Yeah, I've been visiting that site for the past year or so...then all of a sudden they want to charge. It is a great magazine though. Man, that bike is awesome looking! | ||

First off guys please subscribe so we can support a great media source for something we enjoy. Factor in their huge liking to buell it's almost a must for us. In regards to this bike they have pretty made my dream bike. Hats off to them, I only hope individual sections can be bought to get around what I think will be an expensive kit. Best looking version of the 1125 to date. | ||
| 984gasm |
Agreed Café to both statements. I love so many elements of that bike, and would love to have a pick of some of them piece by piece to purchase. | ||

I cant wait for a full faired version for the street. I'm not a big fan of the naked bikes. | ||

"We don't want to do a hyperbike, we don't want to do the full fairing, we don't want to go head-to-head with the Japanese, we don't want to make a left turn and go hard-on sportbike. We want to do a gentleman's superbike, so in best Buell tradition it'll show the engine off, we'll sit the rider high and upright, and the bodywork should sort of protect him..." http://www.sportrider.com/features/146_1101_erik_b uell_interview/what_buell_racing_does.html Harley no longer has a hand in this. Fingers crossed for WSBK (Message edited by n0ctrnlr3d on December 19, 2010) |
