Buell introduces 1125RR racing motorcycle
Race-Use Only Model Aimed at AMA American Superbike Class
EAST TROY, Wis. (July 15, 2009) - Buell Motorcycle Company today introduced the 1125RR, a race-use only motorcycle intended for competition in the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike class.
“The 1125RR is designed to give privateer racers a turn-key machine to compete in the American Superbike class in AMA Pro Racing. We want to build on our program that has proven so successful for privateers in the Daytona SportBike class,” said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Buell Motorcycle Company.
The Buell 1125RR features a modified Helicon 1125cc (103mm bore x 67.5mm stroke) liquid-cooled 72-degree V-Twin engine. Power increases come from components including a larger airbox and intake manifold, revised valves and camshafts, a higher compression ratio, titanium exhaust system and other weight-reduced components.
The 1125RR chassis is the standard 1125R design with fuel-in-the-frame, plus a billet axle adjustment system and chain-drive to allow gearing changes. Suspension travel is managed by fully adjustable units, with a Showa 43mm front fork and a remote-reservoir rear shock. A ZTL2 (Zero Torsional Load) eight-piston front caliper is mated with a modified front rotor.
Buell 1125RR features:

o 4.055 inch (103 mm) bore and 2.658 inch (67.5mm) stroke

WHAT IS THE POWER RATING????
AHHH BAD ASSSSSSS Check this out Asians!
Looks awesome though. You they'll soon have fabricators making street legal pieces, so no need to dish out the 40k. Just wait, and you shall see
I have been trying to find the HP and torque ratings, but nothing yet.
i wonder why they are using the 43mm forks instead of the 47mm forks on the stock 1125s. to save weight?
Also, not sure if anyone else has noticed, but Buell is going to a new Pegasus logo. You can see it on the fairing below the handlebars. I have also seen it on a few shirts that should be released soon.
Eric was wearing a jacket with it in one of his interviews. I like the old logo better.
I do too.
