Buell Firebolt description

Hey guys, I'm selling my old race bike that's been hanging around in my garage for 7 years. Here's the details.
I bought this bike from my good friend who was on the same team as me back in 2007. He had it as his street bike. I tore it apart as it had 21000 miles on it to upgrade the crankshaft to get the displacement of a 1200. I had Hals Harley Davidson of Milwaukee do all the work.

All said and done this is what went down:
-The old crankshaft's crankpin was 1" so we upgraded to the later model XB's 1-1/8" crank pin. Before they installed it back into the case 7 pounds of steel was removed form the crank to increase HP.
-The top end got new piston rings and gaskets after a light honing as the cylinders were in good shape.
-New valves were installed after a multi angle valve job.
-A true chain conversion kit was fitted on the bike.
-A race ecu was also installed, (not the wimpy ones either)
-The front forks on the stock 03 were narrower so i decided to buy forks from a later model Buell off of ebay.
-The machinists at Hals advised me to switch the primary gears and chain to achieve more hp so those are new too.
-The bike pulls pretty hard! 98 hp and 113 foot pounds of torque at the tire.

So after all this work was done I could not wait to get it out on the track. I raced it 7 times at Road America and Blackhawk farms before fucking Harley Davidson pulled the plug on Erik Buell. For the past 7 years I put less than 7k miles on it. As of mid September it was officially titled to me so I went riding around on it. I found that I'm way to big for it and it will sit in my garage for the next decade...

The vin is a xb9r so thats a bonus as insurance is cheaper than the 12, even though it has more power than the stock 12.

Erik Buell Racing Secures $20 Million in Foreign Investments

Fri, 20 Jul 2012

Erik Buell Racing has received a $20 million injection from investors. The increased funding is expected to expand the company’s product line and create about 200 jobs. The investment comes through the somewhat fittingly-named “EB-5” program, a product of the Immigrant Act of 1990 designed to encourage investment in American companies by potential immigrants.

Erik Buell Featured on Entrepreneur.com

Sat, 25 Feb 2012

Entrepreneur.com, the web presence of Entrepreneur magazine, has a feature article on Erik Buell and his Erik Buell Racing (EBR) company. While the article reveals some lack of knowledge of the two-wheeled world by overusing the term “crotch rocket” as the generic description for sportbikes, this is forgivable considering it’s coming from a publication specializing in small businesses and, well, entrepreneurs, and not motorcycles. The article otherwise does a good job of giving a brief but broad synopsis of Buell and the triumphs and tragedies encountered with BMC (Buell Motorcycle Company) — it’s a good primer on Buell if you’re not fully up to speed on Buell’s life in motorcycles.
