This f***ing thing.... I keep seeing it everywhere, and the numbers on it are complete, fantasy bulls***.
When all is said and done, the team is looking for more than 150 horsepower (112 kW) and less than 150 kg (331 lb), which will make the XR1R a furiously fast little beast, an overgrown motard with a hard-pumping American heart.
So they tossed everything that makes an XB an XB to save 55lbs, and are predicting 150hp while keeping the belt.... The belt that has a hard time staying in one piece on stock XB12's :lol: The XBRR, the factory race bike, barely made 150hp at 1350cc, and it shared little with the production bikes. Including the fact that it had a chain :rolf:
Erik Buell himself commented on this thing saying that he thinks the frame will flex like crazy... :rolf:
