Read somewhere that HD's sales are down 90% over the same period as last year....you can bet the ranch that they'll be colluding as hard as they possibly can to get that free advertising....
And while I'm on my soapbox....let's not forget that HD would have gone bye-bye in the '70s if the US Congress hadn't stepped in and passed protectionist legislation that made Jap (read Honda) imports extraordinarliy expensive....

yeah, but it's not on The List.
oh yeah.. that's doesn't matter anymore apparently.
The RR is also not quite the racebike that Pegram has (1098R) either.

The AMA/DMG has a history of allowing not so production american bikes race. Anyone remember the Harley VR1000? I think the 1 or 2 street legal ones ended up in Poland.
DMG is killing american motorcycle racing, at least we have 2 moto GP races and a WSBK race.

I think they're down more like 35%, but that's bad enough.

“Once again, they’ve got to be supported. They can’t just put them out there and walk away from them so only the factory teams can run the bits and pieces. You’ve got to support them and back them. They’re [Buell] willing to support mechanisms in place to support these bikes. As long as people are willing to do that and the thing doesn’t…are we going to allow the Moto Czysz in with a $130,000 bike? No, that’s not going to happen, but if Honda wants to do a CBR1000RR-R with some bits and pieces that make it more suitable for AMA racing and the price isn’t out of line and they’re willing to support it, we would certainly consider it.”
this, from the very guy who wouldn't allow homologation of the the R1 LE.
