Not to knock Honda...but, Rotax has been making engines for: airplanes, boats, jetskis, snowmobiles, motorcycles(in Europe and Asia), and others...nothing wrong with Honda but Honda is new to airplanes(were failure is unacceptable)Boats, Snowmobiles, jetskis and motorcycles. Rotax has been doing it for 30+ years. The problem with the Buell is not the motor, it's the frame not letting it cool properly they had to better position the radiators...problem solved. Honda is good, but so is Rotax

Right, this American garbage beat the crap out of the works RC8 KTM at both bike's first race in Hockenheim a month ago. Biggest difference...the Buell was bone stock, in fact one of the worn bikes from this press launch fielded by a German dealer team who bought the bike used from Buell after the launch, while the RC8s were factory bikes in race trim.
