Bruce Belfer seems like the kinda guy I could admire.

Yeah I see your point. He is not wired for selling motorcycles or probably any product. I wish him good luck tho. I rode this, http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-848460461.him
And it was very grunty and smooth compared to my 1125.

Well, things have got interesting. The future looks like more of the same bikes, but much MUCH better, for everyone.

Hopefully based in Asbury Park.

New guy has come just short of guaranteeing that I believe. Quite a bit of interesting reading on it all out there. Hopefully he can walk the talk and make it work.

Here we go round the Buell go round, the buell go round, the buell go round..... and who gives a shit??
He may have been screwed over by HD? But then he was daft enough to trust a corporate that's only concerned with maintaining it's pseudo 'hell's accountant' 1% image. He struggles to produce 'real world' bikes... maybe this new 'owner' will ground the company, but like so many UK and Italian small manufacturers that have gone before.
