After a so very succesful season with a great rider like Harald Kitsch and a fast bike like the Erik Buell Racing 1190 RR-B automatically the question pop up: What comes next? The answer is, we haven´t decided yet. After the victory in the german SBK open race, spontaneously some Teammanagers asked us if we should compete alltogether next year in that SBK class. We need new challenges for 2011 thats for sure, that might be an interesting one. The other discussion is DAYTONA, if Erik manage an homologation of the 1190RS and if we had support from the US Buellfans it might be worth to think about to come over and give Harald and Daytona a try.
