Buell reminds me of Saturn....a company that was much more than the products they sold. Long live the legend....

Any chance that this is part of a larger plan to trim a loosing company and at the same time have an HD branded sportbike? It wouldnt surprise me to hear that harley starts a sport line with buell tech/designs. Also I doubt that Erik Buell even has the rights to his own name anymore, i'm sure that Harley bought him out a long time ago.

HD has owned 100% of Buell since 1998. He does not have the rights to his own name.
