Hey I tried to just go along but damn, you know? Oh well, you're right I'll let it go and see what happens but you have to admit that it's kinda strange.

I'm going to pretend this is the last thing I will say about this.


Each bike is built for its respective class.

I don't care if its a V8 if its within the rules you have nothing to complain about.

GP is running 800's.. Is a zx10 faster? Or are they built to meet a certain set of rules?


If you cant/refuse to wrap your head around that, then I obviously can't explain anything to you..

Now I'm not calling anyone here in particular a retard, but some days I'm not surprised a keeper or two doesn't log on to apologize for not supervising you a little better.

These bikes are made to meet the rules of their specific class. If that is hard to understand, then I just don't know what else to say..

The 800 is a much different animal with a purpose built engine. The 1000cc bikes are tweaked production bikes. Much much different circumstances.

A 1125cc production motor vs a 600cc production motor is a retarded difference and you know it, however your buell bias is completely blinding the retardation of the notion of this.

It's still sad that this was even a viable option for Buell. They would of gotten much more respect if this 1125rr was entered into the superbike competition without ever setting foot in the 600cc class.

DMG is a shitty organization with really stupid fucking ideas. It's evidenced by the shithole AMA has become since they took over. It's sad that you are even debating this.

Don't they have to make X number of street legal production bikes for the 1125RR to run in the superbike class? Remember the Yamaha R7? Yamaha was forced to make a limited production street legal version to be able to race them. So is DMG overlooking this rule?

And that is where you went wrong.

Most of the bikes were built with a specific class in mind (125's, 250's, 600's, 1000's, etc.)

Buell built a bike and then the rules were made to accomodate it.

I think its cool that the manufacturer of my slow street bike is getting everybody pissed off when they run the stock version against the 600s and complain that they can't run with the 1000s.

Then when they DO produce something to run against the 1000s they find something else to complain about.

What's stopping one of you from buying a 2003 gsxr1000 strapping a turbo on and having something that would destroy the superbike field without a bit of problem? Oh right.. The rules..

You make it sound as if buell is burning the American flag. You're so down on anything that's not in your narrow field of vision that you refuse to see things for what they are and instead see them for what they aren't.
The buell is not made to run in that class, it was forced into that class by a shitty organization.

I am not complaining about them running with the 1000s. They are finally going where they belong even though they are still bending the rules to fit them in there.

This is nothing to do with Buell. Buell is taking advantage of what they are given and more power to them for that. This is against DMG. DMG is a shitty org and I want them gone from moto racing.
