As per the article;

"The 1125 uses a Canadian Rotax BRP engine. While you won't find the line "Canadian-powered American sportbike" in any Buell literature..."

Can anyone confirm that the 1125 Rotax engine is built in Canada vice Austria? I fully realize the company is Austrian/Canadian owned - I am curious though if the Buell's engine is actually manufactured right here in Canada. Thanks!

Inside the oil filter cover, it says "Made in Austria" as do several other parts I've seen.

Maybe all the various engine parts are made in Austria and its assembled in Canada. I dunno. Doesn't really matter, I was just curious...

BRP is Canadian and the parent company of BRP Rotax

"BRP has manufacturing facilities in six countries on three continents. The company’s products are sold in more than 80 countries, 18 of which have their own direct sales network."
