EBR Going to WSBK

[MG-242]

Just announced that Erik Buell Racing is going World Superbike racing in 2014 with May and Yates. I hope they do well or at least respectable!

From what I've gleened about the new bike is they've designed the intake by putting the intake valves slight off time from each other, creating a swirl port/staggered valve opening that's allowing torque well below other high performance engines. They could be a greater contender than people realize with the combined engineering designs of the bike and some good riders.

101+ pound ft of torque

And it's for sale to the public! Harley take note, American engineers are allowed to use designs that were drafted in the last 90 years.

You know, I don't think H-D even cares if it doesn't go potato-potato-potato. Kudos to Erik Buell for not giving up. He's got some good financial support behind him and he's retained majority interest from what I've heard.
