Re: Buell: Ceasing Production
Harley is in enough trouble with their union and lack of sales. This really isn't a surprise to me.
I've never seen a Buell that I would buy anyhow.

Re: Buell: Ceasing Production
Its just always a shame to see a company that does something well be forced to close their doors.

Re: Buell: Ceasing Production
Supposedly, I heard a rumor that HD is selling off Cagiva/MV Agusta that it bought up a while back...
I wonder if HD is in dire straights, and retrenching heavily. 20K heavy cruiser bikes probably aren't selling well in this economy, as a highly demand-elastic luxury item.

Re: Buell: Ceasing Production
This is sad. I love my Buell. Erik looks crushed in that announcement. Wonder why Harley didn't just try to sell Buell rather than killing it

Re: Buell: Ceasing Production
ok so I watched the video since I am home from work. I have to say I feel bad for the guy. He seems like he really believed in his product. Unfortunatally I do not believe in Harley one bit. They have screwed over their employees and continue to build a bike that is nothing more then a name. I have never seen one that would ever interest me in owning. I could rant all day but I will be respectful of the folks here that might like them. I am not a fan at all.
it really doesn't surprise me at all really...take a good company that makes a good product (in their opinion) and then bleed it dry and dump it at the curb. Maybe that guy needs to call Obama and maybe he will send some money
