Just been reading on a few websites (in both the US and UK) that Adrenalin Moto in the UK have sold their Thunderbike Buell XB12X racer to Kevin 'Ago' Murphy. This could be good news for some variety in the Senior, as long as all goes according to plan and Ago's entry is accepted.(Sam Wise)

Sadly, we have today sold our Buell XB12 race bike (Obsession XX, March issue), although the good news is that it will now be raced at the 2007 Senior TT with Kevin 'Ago' Murphy on board This will be the very first Buell to race at the Island and we are of course very excited about the prospect. We will continue to support the bike and the team, and if anyone would like to help out or sponsor this unique racer please don't hesitate to get in touch (Adrenalin Moto)

Hi all, irish Ago here, its funny how things happen. But no one was supposed to know this is what we were trying. But some how shortly after we bought the Bike it had reached the States by the time I got back to the Island. So I'll shed some light on the subject. It's true I have entered a Buell XB 12 XR in the Senior TT and it is all going to depend on my application for an entry being accepted by the organisers it is by no means done and dusted we have a long way to go.

The Bike is an 2006 Model XB 12 X the last prefix R is for Racer it was developed by Matt Purdy at Trojan Racing in the UK and competed in the Thunderbike series in the UK with Phil Read jr on board with some very promiseing results finishing as high as 3rd at some meetings. The Bike has been found over the past year to be very reliable. Some people are saying it's a Harley, it will s**t itself and won't last but I'll tell you this much . It's a Buell with a Buell engine which makes the difference as far as reliability goes. So for now I'm keeping my fingers crossed as to be considered favourably for my entry in the Senior by the powers that be. I wish to apologise to the organising club and those involved in TT 2007 if this causes any problems for them in any way shape or form.... Roll on TT 2007, all the best one and all. I just wanted to bring something different to the TT for the Fans...(Irish Ago.....)
