Ya never know, even though the bike's characteristics may be a bit tempermental, if they find a good rider things might work out for them soon. It'll be interesting to watch how they place this season.

With only 50 made, I doubt anyone will have to worry about landing one.

The fukin problem with this bike is that it is clearly stated on buells website 'not for sale or use on public roadways etc'. This bike was built to compete in the AMA's FX class. FX class rules state 'must be based on street legal motorcycles'. Many teams complained when Buell submitted the bike for the FX class.

Then a funny thing happened, many of you know that several high ranking AMA racing officials suddenly resigned. Then 2 days later the Buell is announced as legal for the FX class. It seems the AMA must have taken a lot of $$$ from buell/hd to make the bike legal and several of the board members didn't agree and were fired or resigned. AMA sold out again!

Yes the 'Legal for street use in Poland' vr1000 that they apid someone off to be legal as well. It's truly sad that hd/buell has to resort to politics to even get a bike in a class, yet alone make it competitive.
