Erik Buell Racing joins WSBK for 2014 | WSBK News | Dec 2013 | Crash.Net lets see how this rocks. And if it does the Ducatis they will need to worry!
Been top 10 in AMA. Good to see another manufacturer there but don't think the riders know WSB tracks. Think positive Ducati going to be up the front this year with chaz n davide.
They did Macau this year too. There is a Vid on Youtube of an onboard lap with one of their riders, can't remember his name. Soz. Here it 'tis
Lets see if they can homologate the bike first shall we... they need to produce 125 bikes before presenting the bike for inspection (ie now) .. 500 bikes by 30th June 2014 .. 1000 by 31 Dec 2014 .. and a further 1000 by 31 Dec 2015 3 bikes a day? Don't think so.
They'll get underdog following and Harleyheads that like racing will will support them. I have a soft spot for Buell, he makes brave engineering innovations and made good bikes out of a Sportster motor with the Lightning and the 1125 had its good points. The mans a trier too, Harley threw the company he started away and he picked it up and started again while HD did their best to stop him.
Indeed great to see EBR in WSBK. It certainly wont be the best bike on the grid, but its there and thats the really important thing
ok you're on....most points in the constructors championship wins..yes? Buell have got two bikes to my one.....but you've got Okie pilots!
