Those brakes still weird me out though.

Clean-up in aisle 'Stu's shorts'... :o :o :o fwiw, that's a dry weight. throw in some oil, coolant, and fuel and you're at/over 400lbs. still, not too shabby. Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: Monster Dave on November 29, 2010, 01:05:58 PM Looks like a tri-fecta of a Monster, a Speed Triple, and a Buell. Not bad though.
"Typhon" - so simple yet obscure that someone would think it a spelling error......a lot like "Diavel"...... Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: Speeddog on November 29, 2010, 01:46:06 PM You guys saw that this was a 'Proof of Concept' based on a $45k racebike, yes?
Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: Raux on November 29, 2010, 02:59:08 PM fwiw, that's a dry weight. throw in some oil, coolant, and fuel and you're at/over 400lbs. yeah, but that's the less than the dry weight of the Monster 1100 Evo that has 100hp at the crank.still, not too shabby.

But doesn't seem like a (much) more reasonably priced street model would be a big stretch. Hell, go to cast masters as opposed to the billet ones and you'll drop $1,000 - 1,500. I'm sure a lot of dosh is wound up in the engine of that race bike. Go with the production version of that engine, save more and on and on.

I will still buy an XB Lightening as a second bike, hmmm. maybe I will make my own frankenstein, shoe horn a ducati 1100 monster engine in it!

Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: Privateer on November 30, 2010, 06:39:25 PM so when is it going to start dominating AMA Pro SuperSport?
Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: ducatiz on December 01, 2010, 05:13:41 AM so when is it going to start dominating AMA Pro SuperSport? They have to re-write the rules again so only the Buell can win. it will come. Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: MadDuck on December 01, 2010, 08:43:35 AM Buell should have done something like that a lot sooner. Maybe he'd still be in the bigger business.
Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: ducatiz on December 01, 2010, 08:48:21 AM Buell should have done something like that a lot sooner. Maybe he'd still be in the bigger business. i don't know but i would assume his balls were in a vise for a long time after signing up with HD. he was using those HD lumps for a while and the 1125 was the first "real" sportbike they made. Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: Speedbag on December 01, 2010, 04:01:03 PM And then the end came....
I think I might be interested in one of these in street trim, if comparable in price with other similar machines, since they are basically a de-uglied Buell 1125. Title: Re: Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon Prototype Post by: Brad131a4 on December 03, 2010, 09:40:28 PM Not bad but did they leave off a number or something on the torque. 185hp and only 93ftlbs of torque doesn't sound very good to me.
