If you thought you are going to get your hands on the newly launched Buell, then you might want to think twice. The 2010 Buell 1125RR is destined for a race-only use, intended for competing in the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike class.
After only a couple of days since its debut, the American motorcycle manufacturer found out that AMA Pro Racing has approved its new model for competition.
The bike received a modified Helicon 1125cc V-Twin engine. According to Buell, the significant power increase than the 1125R model comes 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 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," said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Buell Motorcycle Company.
