quote:The numbers don’t add up. That’s the consensus around the AMA Pro SuperBike paddock regarding chassis specifications of the Erik Buell Racing 1190RS. Twenty-two degrees of rake and 86mm of trail are simply too radical; the big Twin shouldn’t be competitive.

I felt the squat too, there's actually a notch in the 1125's swingarm for your left heel to slip into. I didn't understand it until I read that article, it freaked me out and I backed out of it. I definatly understood it with the braking though...I never used to trail brake and this thing begs to go in hot and scrub off speed. It doesn't run wide or stand up, it compresses the suspension. All I can say is wow. |
