Hello my name is Jake. I started a new race team in CCS east coart ( road racing) I was thinking of asking the editor of HOTBIKE if they wanted to run an article of the Team bike . Came up with new idea and it has worked out better than expected . WE ACTUALLY HAVE A UNLIMITED SUPERBIKE THAT CAN BEAT THE NEW JAPANESE AND EUROPEAN SUPERBIKES . What we did was took a Buell XB12R Firebolt and installed the S&S sb100 engine stroked it to 1900cc running ALL the best components and copying the Harley pro stock drag racing engines detuning it to 175hp and 160lbs of torque at the rear wheel then adding a Baker 6 speed tranny for long straits . Having 2X the torque of a Japanese sportbike it runs away from everything off the bottom end and can pull tall gearing for top speed . Cooling is my invention of forced air oil cooling running 200degrees at most . The Buell chassis is the best chassis available being it was made as a true race chassis not a sportbike chassis ( this is why some think it is .. twitchy they run better the faster they are run like an F1 car) for suspension Ohlins front and rear, carbon fiber bodywork ect. ect . The bike is like no Buell racer you have seen before . Parts are from all over the world , Buells race dept and many fabricated . Have about 80k in it so far . I get nothing from having it in magazine but the buider i hired is a nice guy and deserves the credit . Simons Compitition in Pa . If the editor of Hotbike ses this email me with your number I will give you a ring with all the details . Thank You Jake

Would like to see it, Jake. The bikes that are generally shown in HOT BIKE are just not that hot anymore. Same old, same old. Would be great if in each issue, this rag actually lived up to its name and published something cutting edge. It might increase its readership and inspire people. If they don't do a feature on the builder from Wikked Steel and his latest dream machine, then they need to change their name to just "Bike."

Thank you , Maybe its because its a buell with Harley engine? But trhey did do a story on the Buell XBRR and our bike has much more HP , is faster ,quicker and again much tricker in engine and chassis . Buell racing themselves are excited . When have you seen a Buell, Harley with WSB tech ? I just am taking advantage of the unlimited dislacement and with the 1900cc we can outrun even the best Japaneses and European literbikes when accelerating out of a corner . BTW now tusing Buell race dept swing arm so it has same chassis geometry as 1125R for more stability . Rossi is busy at the moment and I cant see anouther rider fulling able to use 52 inch wheelbase . So we went 54.5 like 1125R
