Uhm, stock my bike put down 152 to the wheel. And its 998cc. That Buell is 1125cc, and less HP. Typical Harley made crap. Another waste of metal that could've been used to make a real bike.

SpaceGhost Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yeah what's a ZX14 put down like 180? Move over what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan1972 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Yeah what's a ZX14 put down like 180? Move over what? It's just not all about the strait line, try throwing a ZX14 in a corner ROFL.. I just think it on hell of an effort for a US owned company to give a little bit more to a sport bike that's all.

I just think it on hell of an effort for a US owned company to give a little bit more to a sport bike that's all. Dan I agreee. Check out the Buell pages on the engine technology. The motor looks VERY nice, and has good linear power (flat torque). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Uhm, the ZX10 isn't a straight line bike either....... I bet large sums of money the ZX10 would spank that Buell on any track. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Photos/2008_Kawasaki_ZX-10R_16.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendellcrain Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 What will be interesting is to see what happens with HD buying MV and Cagniva. Supposedly, they are leaving everything intact in Italy. Will they update their current products or leave everything alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinHawk1647545499 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 they finally built an 1125cc bike that can beat a 600cc bike, WOW i am in-pressed!!eleventybillion but put that up on a 1000cc bike like a R1, CRB1000, GSXR1000 ro Zx1000 and no dice.

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 The front cowl definately looks like its outta place. I cant figure out with all the sportsbike that have been successful over the years, and the basic designs that these bikes have shared, why its so hard to use this platform to make an american built bike that has a good look. Although this bike comes as close as I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't get the "typical Harley-made crap" comment about the motor. It's a Rotax motor, not a Harley V-Twin. Keep in mind that Rotax uses a lot of the tech they developed for their ultralight aircraft motors. That engine could probably run for hours at the limiter with no issues at all.

Oh, and I rode the 1125R when I was control riding at VIR Virginia international raceway. I thought it was pretty badass. Reved pretty fast, just wish it reved higher. the brakes were nice, and I could throw it around very easy. I would never buy one, but it was fun beating the piss out of a brand new bike on the track. This was a buell inside pass day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just hope that motor doesn't have the typical oil puddle on the pavement that the everyday buell acquires. IMO, it's ugly and looks super awkward.

The 14 handles far better than the busa (in my opinion). No, it's not a 600, but I think it does pretty well for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
