No good deed goes unpunished as the Buell riders have found out. Following Matt Smith's record-setting performance in St. Louis, the NHRA has announced the following rule change.  

Following a review of recent performances in the Pro Stock Motorcycle category, NHRA has announced that the minimum weight for all Buell-powered motorcycles is increased 10 pounds, from 615 to 625 (minimum weights include the rider).

The increase is part of NHRA's ongoing efforts at maintaining competition within the category.

The change is effective June 7, 2007, at the Torco Racing Fuels Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway, which is the next stop on the POWERade tour for Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Harley Davidson V-Rod (160 CID) and Suzuki (101 CID) remain at 615 pounds.
