Barnes to ride Buell in Daytona Sportbike

[Puppet]

Cool The 1125 ran well in MotoST last year. I think it will be fun to watch. Hopefully some more of the eligible twins (KTM, Aprilia, BMW) will field entries as well.

Barnes and Higbee in Daytona Sportbike and McWilliams in American Superbike. RmR/Geico/BR's DHD will be a factory supported team. This should be awesome.

Don't count them out yet based on one tire test after they've all been running Pirellis.

Good for Buell! I know a lot of people on there don't like them, but I'd like to see them do well. I'm sure a racing program would only lead to their bikes getting better and better.

Many features on the 1125R came from the XBRR. While the XBRR was infamous for it's poor record in Formula Extreame, it was successful in other organizations and was a great test platform for proving new components.

Tripp will probably ride as a privateer on another Buell team. The few people that tested today by no means make up the majority that will compete regularly this year.
