It was a piece of hard work and a lot more tricky than any of the bikes before to build the 25 years of Buell Tribute Racebike. Our idea was to show with “Chronos” the respect of the ideas and solutions Erik and BMC had choosen on legendary bikes

like the 1000 RR or the S1. But, an XBRR engine is nothing to store in a customproject that ends up on display. This engine need to breath the air of the tracks, have to be feeded with oil and fuel and have to let hear this outstanding

“Roaarrrrrrrrr” of an aircooled, pushrodpowered performanceengine. Any details of the “Chronos” project are pure raceborn. There is no solution just to look good. The design and setup follows our last years experiences on roadracing

with Buells Tubeframers and XB models. If we build a sprocketbrake, than because we need the wheelside flange for our tractioncontrol sensoring, if we mount an underengine suspension, than because we believe in cooling and mass centralization.

Without our engaged friends the “Chronos” project want exist. Thanks to Lasse Eriksson from pro2type who have done the aluminium weld, and thanks to my family who is always with ideas and power beside me. Jens, November 2007
