Buell Motorcycle Company plans to announce its latest sportbike to the world Sunday, July 9, in conjunction with its international dealer meetings, but unauthorized photos, video and details of the new machine were published by an overseas press outlet today. The new Buell is powered by a water-cooled, 1125cc, 72º V-Twin built by Rotax. The engine is said to produce 146 horsepower at the crankshaft with 84 lbs.-ft. of torque and a redline of 10,500 rpm. The bike has a six-speed transmission and is equipped with a slipper clutch. The frame will continue to double as the fuel tank but with more capacity, 5.6 gallons. Wheelbase is 54.5 inches, longer than the 52-inch wheelbase of existing Buell Firebolts, and the bike has an upgraded version of the Zero Torsional Load single-disc brake system. Buell will officially release information and photos of the new machine Sunday. See the video here: ~http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzkRAbfHI6M&eurl=~
