Remember the Erik Buell Racing 1190 Typhon? It’s a concept streetfighter based on the 185rwhp EBR 1190RR and built by the world’s largest EBR race team. These exclusive photos and exclusive video show its first track outing at Spain’s Motorland Aragon where it was able to lap within seven seconds of race bikes like the BMW S1000RR and Aprilia RSV4, despite being saddled with a stock 1125 motor and street tires. Soon, you’ll be able to buy a kit to turn your old Buell into something similar.

The Typhon is the product of creative minds at Pegasus Race Team, the world’s largest team currently campaignin EBR bikes. Last year, they won the European Sound of Thunder championship with an EBR 1190RR.

Pegasus continued developing Buell products before there was a such thing as Erik Buell Racing and the Typhon grew out of those efforts. The team devised new aerodynamic and cooling solutions to make a naked based on the radical performance of the 1190RR possible.

The camera's a bit jerky, but here's a lap of Aragon aboard the Typhon. Keep in mind it's running a stock 1125 motor and street tires here.

Want one? Pegasus and Buell-Parts.com are developing a kit based on these components that’ll allow you to transform any Buell 1125R or 1125CR into an ass-kicking American streetfighter.
