FFS, a Buell is a Buell, OK? Just happens to have a Harley engine but its still a Buell!! Or do you call a Aprilia RS250 a Suzuki because it has a RGV engine? How about Bimotas, dont really exist do they, apart from that horrible vdue disaster. If its an SB8 it'll be a Suzuki, or the YB series are really Yamahas, not a Bimota. Cagiva Raptor, nah mate they're Suzukis, got TL engines so we should call them Suzukis, don't we? So why keep refering to Buell's as Harleys?

sounds damn good!
So you got married in Las Veges, that must have been an interesting wedding. The time I spent in the states was all on the east coast ...as a camp counsellor ...many moons ago

But damn I loved it...way better than I thought it would be... I found i actually liked most of the yanks i met

, although most were only teens from NY and Philly...and New York is just something else...mad place

well that is excellant that you lot are going to be at MM...could be VERY interesting

Nah, been in love with the Buell for many years, since my mate in Auckland bought hers... shame you aint single, as she IS now

Perhaps because they have Harley engines,the majority of the company is owned by Harley, so they are a bloody Harley

makes sense to me

Don't think Suzuki have the major shareholding in Cagiva so you're not comparing apples with apples,although the way Italian companies get bought and sold you'd never know and the same goes for Bimota

Says the lady who broke my lights on the XJ

Let me race your Harley at the next BEARs meet and I'm sure I could get it to crap out as well

IIRC, Harley now own 100% of Buell.... it was 51% HD and 49% Buell, guess Eric is a very rich man now. :spudbn:

So do Cagiva still own Husqvarna and MV Agusta? And don't Aprilia own Moto Guzzi? Ownership means nothing otherwise we'd be calling these bikes by other names?
