BUELL INTRODUCES 1125RR SUPERBIKE RACING MOTORCYCLE
D&D Performance Enterprises Congratulates Erik on his Entry into the Premier Class
Race-Use Only Model Aimed at AMA American Superbike Class
Buell slip-on pipes are consistently a sales leader for the company. We feel that Buell riders tend to choose us because our work in the dyno translates into more power and torque for our customers... So we are sending Erik and his team a huge congratulations for the work done and much success in the future with his RR racebike!
- Dave Rash, The Pope of Pipe
EAST TROY, Wis. (July 15, 2009) - Buell Motorcycle Company today introduced the 1125RR, a race-use only motorcycle intended for competition in the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike class.
"The 1125RR is designed to give privateer racers a turn-key machine to compete in the American Superbike class in AMA Pro Racing. We want to build on our program that has proven so successful for privateers in the Daytona SportBike class,"
- Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Buell Motorcycle Company.
The Buell 1125RR features a modified Helicon 1125cc (103mm bore x 67.5mm stroke) liquid-cooled 72-degree V-Twin engine. Power increases come from components including a larger airbox and intake manifold, revised valves and camshafts, a higher compression ratio, titanium exhaust system and other weight-reduced components.
The 1125RR chassis is the standard 1125R design with fuel-in-the-frame, plus a billet axle adjustment system and chain-drive to allow gearing changes. Suspension travel is managed by fully adjustable units, with a Showa 43mm front fork and a remote-reservoir rear shock. A ZTL2 (Zero Torsional Load) eight-piston front caliper is mated with a modified front rotor.
