2009 Buell® 1125R $12,499.00 BUILT
FROM
THE
RIDER
DOWN
For
most
superbike
manufacturers,
engineering
the
perfect
sportbike
begins
with
a
focus
on
the
machine.
That’s
not
the
case
with
Buell.
For
us,
it
all
begins
with
the
rider.
Take
a
look
at
the
Buell®
1125R.
Everything
on
this
bike
is
there
to
give
you
more
feel,
more
control
and
more
confidence.
It
features
intuitive
handling,
an
ideal
rider
environment
and
a
broad,
predictable
powerband,
compliments
of
the
light
and
compact
1,125
cubic-centimeter
liquid-cooled,
DOHC
V-twin.
It’s
all
there
for
a
reason.
And
that
reason
is
you.

Buell
racers
gearing
up
for
2009
Daytona
season
opener
East
Troy,
Wis.
(February
24,
2009)
-
Buell
racers
from
around
the
country
are
gearing
up
for
the
2009
race
season,
which
kicks
off
at
Daytona
International
Speedway
during
Daytona
Bike
Week
February
28
through
March
6.
In
AMA
Pro
Racing
action,
the
2009
season
opens
with
a
paradigm
shift
as
new
series
management
and
class
structures
debut
at
Daytona
on
Wednesday,
March
4.
The
historic
Daytona
200
moves
to
a
thrilling
new
nighttime
run
under
the
lights
on
the
evening
of
Friday,
March
6.
Six
Buell
1125Rs
are
entered
in
the
Daytona
SportBike
class
for
the
Daytona
200,
which
will
be
broadcast
live
on
SPEED
TV
at
8
p.m.
(Eastern).
Daytona
200
Buell
riders
include
Michael
Barnes
(Geico
Powersports/RMR),
Danny
Eslick
(Bruce
Rossmeyer’s
Daytona
Racing/RMR),
Alan
Schmidt
and
Josh
Bryan
(Latus
Motors
H-D/Buell),
Bryan
Bemisderfer
(H-D/Buell
of
Frederick)
and
Shawn
Higbee
(Bartels’
H-D/Buell).
“We’ve
learned
a
lot
from
racing
in
the
MOTO-ST
series
for
the
past
two
seasons,”
said
RMR’s
Richie
Morris.
“It
was
intense
and
the
competition
was
good,
but
it
was
nothing
like
we’ll
face
this
year.
We’ve
got
a
second
year
bike,
two
new
teams,
and
two
new
riders,
and
we’re
starting
the
season
at
the
biggest,
most
important
race,”
Morris
said.
“We’ve
had
good
results
in
testing
and
I
think
before
the
end
of
the
year,
we’ll
be
up
front.
We’ve
got
a
veteran
[rider]
and
a
young
gun,
so
I
think
we’ve
covered
all
our
bases.”
Joining
veteran
racer
Michael
Barnes
is
22-year-old
Danny
Eslick,
who
cut
his
teeth
racing
dirt
track
before
turning
to
road
racing
in
2005.
He’s
no
stranger
to
the
Daytona
200,
having
finished
fourth
in
the
2005
race.
“I’m
super
excited
to
be
working
with
Richie,
Bruce
Rossmeyer’s
Daytona
Racing,
Buell,
and
my
teammate
Michael
Barnes,”
said
Eslick
of
Broken
Arrow,
Okla.
“I
was
planning
on
getting
my
dirt
track
gear
together
when
I
got
the
call
that
[RMR]
was
looking
for
a
second
rider.”
Eslick’s
first
introduction
to
his
Buell
1125R
and
the
new
Dunlop
spec
tires
came
during
a
test
at
Jennings
Grand
Prix
in
Florida
in
early
February.
“These
new
tires
are
right
up
my
alley.
I
think
they’re
really
going
to
work
well
with
the
Buell’s
torque
to
get
off
the
corners,”
said
Eslick.
“I’d
be
more
than
happy
with
a
top
five
finish,
but
my
goal
for
Daytona
is
to
leave
with
a
good
solid
finish
and
come
out
healthy
and
ready
for
the
rest
of
the
season.”
Recovering
from
a
pre-season
testing
hand
injury,
Eslick’s
teammate
Michael
Barnes
will
use
the
opening
days
of
Bike
Week
to
test
his
readiness
for
the
200-mile
race.
“After
our
successful
test
under
the
lights
at
Daytona
in
January,
we
were
testing
at
Jennings
GP
in
early
February
and
unfortunately
I
had
a
high-speed
low
side
crash
that
resulted
in
a
third
metacarpal
fracture.
It
was
immediately
plated,
and
the
prognosis
is
very
good,”
Barnes
said.
“We’re
managing
the
soft
tissue
recovery
now,
and
we
plan
to
use
the
CCS
weekend
to
assess
my
performance
for
the
200.
If
I
don’t
think
I’m
capable
of
representing
the
team
and
our
sponsors,
we’ve
got
a
substitute
rider
lined
up.
But
I’m
optimistic,
because
I
really
don’t
want
to
miss
the
start
of
my
21st
season
racing
at
Daytona!”
Rounding
out
the
AMA
Pro
Racing
Buell
highlights
at
Bike
Week
is
the
debut
of
the
SunTrust
Moto-GT
series’
new
class
structure,
which
includes
the
horsepower
and
weight
restricted
GT1
and
GT2
classes.
The
two-hour
season
opener
will
begin
at
4
P.M.
on
Friday,
March
6,
immediately
prior
to
the
opening
ceremonies
for
the
Daytona
200.
Stepping
up
from
the
former
MOTO-ST
GrandSport
Twins
class
to
contest
Moto-GT1,
the
James
Gang/Hoban
Brothers
Racing
team
sponsored
by
H-D/Buell
of
Appleton
will
debut
its
new
1125R
with
riders
Paul
James
and
Jeff
Johnson.
Also
entered
aboard
an
1125R
in
Moto-GT1
is
the
Liberty
Waves
Racing/Antelope
Valley
H-D/Buell
1125R
ridden
by
Eric
Pinson
and
Eric
Haugo.
“We
earned
11
podium
finishes
in
two
seasons
of
MOTO-ST
competition
aboard
a
Buell
Firebolt,
but
this
is
a
whole
new
ball
game,”
said
James.
“We’re
ready
for
the
challenge.”
Bike
Week’s
racing
action
kicks
off
with
the
Championship
Cup
Series
(CCS)
and
American
Sportbike
Racing
Association
Pro

the

28-March

of
former

including
2007
class
champ
and
2008
runner-up
Dave
Estok

of
Frederick).
All
are
riding
Buell
Firebolt
XB12Rs.
“I’ve
got
this
weird
on
again,
off
again
thing
going
with
the
[Thunderbike]
championship.
I
won
it
in
’03,
’05,
and
’07,
so
I
feel
like
this
is
my
year,”
said
Estok,
who
will
also
contest
the
Parts
Canada
Superbike
Championship
this
season.
