If Buell is so great why don't/can't they simply build a powerful enough 600cc motor to compete with???!??!?? Pathetic.
Well first off, Buell builds street bikes and THEN decides to race them for the publicity......Unlike the Japanese who build bikes with a priority on winning races as the first priority.

Also, if America wanted to, I'm sure it could build an inline 4, but of course it would be 10-15 years before it would have the quality of a Jap engine. Unless they just outsource it like they usually do
