Harley saw the writing on the wall. The future is headed towards a sport bike design. Every manafactor is there or headed there. They saw the market slipping away from the street cruser, and they didn't want to promote any bike that would take away from their bread and butter. Shame on you HD.
my second xb9 is enormous fun. I owned a lot of sport-bikes including Aprilia RSV, cruisers and dual purpose bikes but the Buell is still my favorite . Harley was stupid to dump them. The evolution engine is not sophisticated but surprisingly nice in this chassis .
I own a BUELL and initially tried to treat it like a dirt bike; however, they do not operate that way. EVEN so, this is a great bike to STAND right up on the seat, LAY DOWN on, and RIDE with ARMS WIDE OPEN!!!! I did my time on this bike and I am KEEPING my BUELL, it has many flaws and I have had better, parts are a bitch to get, but yes, I RIDE A BUELL!!!!!!!!!! It is a fun bike to play on...
I've watched a lot of vids from MCN and I've never seen a good weather it's always bad when they ride. Just thought to let everyone know this in case no one ever notice it :D
Harley will regret this... im sure you already do. Buell was a profit making company, FACT! Harley are just suffering with poor sales & design.... will they be around for what now is the next generation of bikers, NOPE!
@an50331 I have heard that their highest profit section is merchandising, i looked into harley brand jackets and they are 400-600 dollars. I can get a nice riding jacket with free breathing mesh and joint protection for less than 200 at s&s powersports and even cheaper online. If you got a harley helmet, harley glove, harley helmet, harley boots, harley riding pants and harley jacket You could potentially spend 2000 dollars.
@jeremyrde I'm glad they did because now Buell is doing his own thing under the name of EBR and will no longer be restricted in development by the busniess-heads at Harley. That means he can focus on making more seriously competitive bikes rather then just being forced to say "hey everyone, but our bikes instead of the competitions because we're American!"
The CEO Keith Wandell is responsibility for closing Buell, Talladega Test Facility and Florida Proving Ground. Harley made over $600million profit in 2008 and $70million in 2009 because of the closures. Obviously $600million profit was not enough for the share holders. The best part is that Wandell received a bonus that year of $6.4million for all his hard work. Wandell was taught to ride when he started with Harley and now he’s a bad ass biker employing his buddies from Johnson Controls.
Had many sport bikes before, never had ridden a buell since I listened to all the BS. I got one of the last ones ever made. So glad I did, this is my favorite by far. Sure the engine isn't the most powerful. But if you're serious about bikes you wouldn't stick with a stock engine anyway. Sure the Buell shakes a little, but if you're worried about that you're probably more of a couch person anyhow... The looks..? I get more waves and thumbs up than ever before... ride with pride... I know I do.
@TristanBrankin... i completely disagree. those innovations are why they could pack a 200 lb motor in their bikes and still have a wet weight of around 450 lbs. Space and weight saving designs like fuel in frame and oil in swingarm, plus perimeter brakes (which saves about 6.5 lbs over convential dual discs) and a lighter kevlar belt drive only improved their 'true sportbike performance'. i suggest you try on an 1125 on for size and tell me theres no true sportbike performance in there.
@TristanBrankin 2 reasons: they are on the track and not on the street. The belts are phenomenal on the street, not as durable with the abuse the track gives them (but doable), and more importantly 2) for quick gearing changes (made possible by quick sprocket changes on chain drive).
@TristanBrankin For racing you need to change the final drive ratios for different tracks (taller/shorter gearing). The only way to do that is to change the sprocket and chain. Can't do that with a belt easily. Belts are superior on the street, no matter which way you look at it.
Have owned three. never rode them. have a 02 in the garage now and I would always ride my busa or gsxr thousand when i want a sportbike. or the road king or my chopper if i want a harley... it just was too...mmmm. in the middle.
OK...I'll mak a comment. I would like to buy US designed products, I am a Mech Engr in usa...but....the Buell styling always lookeds half baked, the engines were low performance until the Rotax, and they were relatively expensive. The look was the biggest turnoff for me.
Well hopefully some good used ones will still stick around for the next few years. I was really looking forward to owning an american made sports bike, especially one that i've heard nothing but good things about. Too bad we couldn't pull our crap together and compete with the other brands.
What good things have you heard about them? I used to work as a Buell dealership as the representative, and people that had just bought their bikes a few months ago and are already bringing them back for major repairs. I continued to see them come in regularly too! Needless to say that was not fun being a rep, so i left.
buell came up with tons of tech stuff listen to this guy in first 15 .....before you slam.......... eric buells products the stuff he came up with is now common place in the race world ........
Nobody wanted a tractor engine in a sporting chassis...... once the proper sporty Rotax motor was fitted, it was too late for the flawed marque. If they put the Rotax motor in the Ulysses chassis, they would have had a potential BMW GS killer.
I owned an early lighting. It was down for repair more than it was on the road. I always felt ist was to bad Eric did not put his efforts into developing a motor as inovative as his bikes. Loved it when it was rolling!
Buells are great bikes and it is a shame they are gone, I have a 2002 X1 Lightning, which has never gievn me any trouble. I rode through france down to spain last january in horrible snow conditions and not once did I have any trouble, my Buell might change its look to a buell chopper but i will always stick the the buell 1200!
Although I have never been a fan of Buell, the thing I find sad about Buell shutting down is that it gives the consumer yet once again, less choice. When you think about how many companies there once were, just the shear amount of options, and then look at what we have now? Sad. RIP Buell Motorcycles.
It's people with mentalities like that that are the reason this country is faltering. People that think sheltering the old, out of date ideas by any means to maintain them at the cost of new more efficient prospects. I have never seen a Buell on the road, and I'm sure that if people wanted one, they would buy it. Clearly, a product with no demand does not deserve to exist in a competitive market.
They actually didnt sell that bad. Sales wasnt why harley closed them. To bad they refused to sell the them...Guess it wouldnt look good if someone else bought them and made them into a successful company
@Pezdetz666 I've never seen an mv augusta on the road, Does that mean they don't deserve exist? I see more buells on the road than ducati's or aprillia's. It wasn't demand it was Harley Davidson being greedy. They stoped funding them because Harley's sales droped, not Buells. From what i've read Buell's sales were actually up alot compared to previous years before they got shut down.
People who rubbish Buell dont understand a freaking thing about the bike, It was not to out class or even beat jap bikes but to make a sports bike using a harley motor with real ideas like the belt drive i dont like chains with the VFR 06 just because the contant care required and the splatter even with low fling oil and then to have the fuel and oil stored in the swing arms to save weight is a great idea.
Its a shame its going out of productions as the 1125R starting to look interesting.
I bought a Buell last year as I fell instantly in love with the brutal looks of the XB. They definitely aren't the fastest out there , but they show a great deal of character which the designer is responsible for. I'm sad that HD shut them down. They weren't bad , just different and either you love them or hate them.I love my Buell !
It is sad that they don't make 'em anymore . Maybe theres a chance a very slight chance he can make the split and build bikes in his own company utilizing the Rotax built engines . I'm still holding out hope that I'll be able to get my hands on an 1125R . Call it ugly if you want but with the aftermarket side plastic the bike cleans up nicely !
Completely EPIC and innovative design ideas went into making his bikes. Buell was truly a genius, well ahead of his time. The whole story to his life designing bikes is really something amazing. If only he could have found someone better than Harley Davidson to field his line ups.
@viperq Dude I would agree if it was Harley who shut down, but Harley are still open and going strong, and unfortunately Buells were innovative, and great bikes (i'm not a fan of the newest model though 1125, think it's ugly as hell, and is trying to compete with jap bikes, which it can not) but Buell were the ahead of the field with "centre of gravity technology" "under bike exhausts etc" it was after Buell did that, then in moto gp they followed suit! So yeah FU Harley for shutting Buell!
I find it crazy that hardly anyone like Buell styling, I think they all look fantastic personally, and also did anyone see the Buells they wanted to make but never got round to in Bike magazine?
OMG they're driving on the wrong side of the road! lol jk.. yeah I don't know if I wont personally miss them but I know there are some that do. Sucks though when a company has to stop everything.. Fucking economy!
Cant say I enjoy a buell. Sad yes. its they're own fault that they went under. An ugly hard to ride bike isnt gonna last. its a reason most japanese bikes are so close to the same. BECAUSE its a platform that works.
I will miss them. I love a company that isn't afraid to think outside the box and do things their own way. All the japanese sport bikes are almost the same. The 1125R stands out.

The 1125R is a pretty impressive bike. Very responsive handling. Power in every gear/range. Very impressive braking once you get use to them.
I didn't care for the styling, though with the aftermarket fairing kit, the bike looks great.
I'm 5'8", and the bike absolutely fit me like a glove. Ironically, other test riders who were 6' foot and over said the same thing.
I really enjoyed being a test rider for Buell. A great company and a great team.
