Any predictions on how this bike will fair? It has a much better look than the passt Buells. And it is racing this weekend.. I know. I know nothing about Buell . but this bike caught my eye. And sorry if i started a thread that already exists. Also i would like to say . I don't mean to offend anyone but starting this thread. I am mearly curious about such a motorcycle. And yes. I am being selfish becuase i am posting this for my own personal gain
When I was doing CCS at NJMP last month Barney was there testing the 1190 in a few classes. If I remember hearing correctly over the PA I think his best time was a low 25's (fastest lap that day was Eric Stump doing a 24.8). I have to say though, friggin bike sounds like a monster from another planet, lol.
The racing this weekend will be at Streets of Willow -- counter-clockwise, too. Not the best arena for larger bikes.
taylor did really good on a customers bike at njmp for the last round, after he rode it, they were shipping it to the owner
I know!!! How dare they stick a water cooled V-twin in place of my beloved, late 60's techno, air cooled, pushrod tractor motor! :wow: In all seriousness, I do expect good things in 2012 from the 1190. I'll predict a top 5, possibly even a podium!!
Barnes is racing this weekend at Daytona. some fast guys here so we may see how it does. same bike that Knapp was on at Jersey. tim
