I beleive there are some seriously tuned Buells out there.....my mate came to the track with me last time on his 09 R6.......he openly stated he could not get anywhere near me coming out of the corners....he could not catch me in the corners and he knows how to ride....one of the Directors of the firm (Trackdayz) has an 08 Buell which he takes to the other local circuit (Collie) which is a real short twisty circuit, and he tells me he smashes everything on the Buell Lightning....so I recon if circuits were all twists and turns you would be hard pressed to beat an aircooled sorted Buell in the right hands......and lets be honest, all the jap stuff looks the same, sounds the same, go's the same......no soul....like I said there is always a crowd around the Buell....
Sorry but I've NEVER repeat NEVER been beat off the line. My roomate has an r1 fully moded and it's not even close. Now once I hit around 30-40mph he's gone. Other roomate has a Swift chopper with a 127 s&s. He's usually pretty close but still haven't been beat stoplight 2 stoplight by anything?!?!?! I'm sure there r things out there that Can do it but I haven't came across any yet
all this corner speed vs straight line speed got me wondering how good buell would have done if finish lines were after a series of several turns instead of in the middle of long straight aways
It shouldn't make a difference after a few laps. Think about it, the finish is the lap average, not just the straightaway. If the finish line is after the straightaway, then the faster bike in the twisty section entered the straightaway with a head start. It all evens out.
