One month ago we made public in our Social Networks that finally this year we are not going to race in Pikes Peak because we couldn’t complete the necessary budget to do it properly. For this reason, the most logical was to cancel the project.
Fortunately, it was possible to stop everything with enough time to allow Rennie Scaysbrook to look for a motorbike to race this year, and finally he will race again with KTM, as he did last year.
Kriega, our main sponsor, didn’t start yet the production of the “Bottpower style” backpacks that they were going to produce for this year, so we were also lucky in that regard and the project cancelation has been “clean”, without any damaged part.
On the other hand, some time ago we started thinking about building a completely new bike. Buell is not producing bikes anymore, and that is a problem in Europe because the engines don’t fulfill with Euro4. So for our next project, we will use another brand as donor bike.
Of course this doesn’t mean that we are going to stop producing Buell based motorbikes. We will keep building XR1s and XC1s with Buell engines, but we will also start developing a new line of motorbikes based on another engine.
We are investing money in the new project, for this reason we are selling the BOTT XR1R that raced in Pikes Peak last year.
We think that this is a very interesting bike, mainly for collectors who are looking for a very unique motorbike, with a great character, who finished 4th in Pikes Peak (and first in the Exhibition Powersport category), and which was chosen one of the top 10 2017 bikes by Bike Exif editors.
These are some of the very special parts that this bike has:
– Buell XBRR engine, 1340 cc, 150 HP, titanium valves
– Öhlins / Ceracarbon fork with carbon fiber inner tubes and Öhlins TTX cartridge
– Shock absorber Öhlins TTX
– Rotobox carbon fiber wheels
– Triple clamp with titanium axle
– Wheels titanium axles
– Brembo master cylinder, calipers, discs
– AIM data recording system
– Carbon fiber seat and airbox
– STM slipper clutch
We are also selling some of the brand new Buell XBRR engines that we have.
So if you are seriously interested in buying the bike or an engine, please send us an email to david@bottpower.com
