The new Buell with a Rotax engine. That got my attention too!Originally Posted by nosebleed
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
A real shame, as they are a bike that always make you look at it.
A potential candidate for adding to a collection now though.

Sad sad news.
It was hard to watch that video. You could see how much the man was hurting....

Hey, kids! Captain Hero here with Getting Laid Tip 213 - The Backrub Buddy!
Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.

I feel very sad for Erik Buell, he is passionate about his bikes, his company and his employees.
And it is a very sad day for all us Buell owners as well.
I hope a new opportunity opens up for him and his beloved Buell motorcycles.
Carpe diem - seize the day

Eric Buell should have stayed semi independent from Harley as he once was. Look what happens when you fully hook up with a predominantly cruiser dominated company, first sign of trouble, chop out what is not their core market.
Bad move pal, though I do feel for him poor bugga, he created innovative machines. Lets hope he can do a phoenix from the ashes trick.
Oh yeah, and yet another case of DMG backing a dying near dead horse.

IMO, Erik needed cash to take the Buell brand to the next level.
It is tough developing bikes, selling enough of them to make a good coin
He was also using HB motors or at least parts of them
That was the driver to get into bed with HD -
His bikes are not main stream but you start to see the Jap bikes picking up some of his ideas
As his news breaking news video repeats - Erik and his designers were pretty innovative. Where to next ...

A shame - I've always liked the Sporty engined ones.
Never got the Rotax ones, could not see the point, may as well buy a better V twin and get a Ducati.

Yep, been a great week,
ACC shafting...
Now Buells gone
Thanks very fuckin much Harley Davidson.
One hell of a ride.
Some people close to Erik are still remaining positive. 'Shackles lifted'.
There is a 10 year guarantee on parts too.
So I now call my XB12X 'The Relic'.

Classic forehead palm D'oh moment :slap:
Why oh why didn't they ditch the shitters and keep the Buell and MV?
One hell of a ride.
They don't make shitters. They make the 2nd best selling brand in NZ. Sell more than Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki & Triumph.
Why - Money - In total - 3% of H-D's sales are Buell and their parent finance division is fritzed.

So have buell owners just takin a big resale value loss?
