Erik Buell Racing
Geoff's number one AMSOIL #99 bike is together and looking great. And sounds so good on the dyno! Need to make a video, but didn't. Darn, too busy! So come out to New Jersey AMA races, or watch on Speed. Tell your friends! It's going to be an incredible race weekend. Freshly hurricane-scrubbed track, cool air, and championships to be decided...

Good find! One more step to Buell coming back.

The bike is simply great, but they also need to make some money to keep this whole operation going. Maybe they should start considering mass production again of bikes priced under $15k, and hire some profesionals to sort out electronics (don't like them when riding, but can win races these days) and an Italian to sort out styling (I know I'm being a heretic, and I absolutely LOVE the styling of my XB, but that can be a strong selling point).

They are producing 100 of their 2012 1190's. They are $40,000, but they say they will in the future release more models that are at a lower price range. Sort of a great idea, build an awesome bike, then work backwards to mass production...the bike you get for $40,000 is damn near the same bike they are racing...

I read somewhere EBR has 6 (yes I said six) people on their payroll....is that true? If so, that is just amazing how well they are doing...

No. Maybe six only on the race team. He has numerous office people, builders and designers, etc.

Watch the video . Defenitly more than six.

 

[snrusnak]

Ok, I can't remember where I read that, but it said Buell had about 200 employees, and EBR has 6. Wish I could remember where I saw it...

I will be at the Daytona 200 in March cheering on BUELL! I was at the '09 Daytona and will never forget the sound of the lone Buell as it went by on the big banked turns...I was standing on the infield side and it was almost like looking down at the bike from above.
