I'd be interested to know how the support from Hero is structured. This looks like it is going to be an awesome combination for both parties, giving Eric Buell the financial support and freedom he needs to be successful, and Hero the exposure that they want in the states. AMA Superbike racing is finally getting interesting again :)

Yes it is!!! Another Podium on Sunday 3rd for Goff May I am pissed a bit though he had 2nd but inexplicably backed off when he lost the 1 bid.
Eslick finished in the top 10 as well and Higbee did quite well as a privateer with crotchrocket.tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though only one race this weekend EBR had a solid outing with a 4th and 6th place finish. The thing I like is they are not using electronics as the BMW and Yamaha not sure about Suzuki are. This handicaps the teams a bit but the rules allow it so it is what it is.

W00T! Good to hear.
The faster the bike I get, the less of a coffin I'm gonna need, more like a ziplock bag.

If it were anyone besides Erik trying to enter the mass produced market at this time, I'd say no chance. But Erik will find a way to pull it off. IF. If, this time around, he has full control over the specifications of the bikes. Harley tied his hands with Buell Motorcycle Company. Hopefully Hero won't or can't do the same with EBR.
