  • Why am I not surprised? The people at Harley don't get it and they never have. The DNA of Buell and the world's other great motorcycle manufactures is someting that HOG can not even recognize. I guess as long as people need "boat anchors" HD will still be around to make them...

  • I don't want to ride anything but a Buell. :-(

see all

  • Does anyone know if he will start again under a new name? it would be a shame to see the talent just come to an end just when things were getting good. a v-twin bike with twice the horse power as my sv650 and  only 10 lbs. heavier.

  • man that's fuckin sad!

    my uncle supported a buell race team here in germany and my dad had a xb12r. what a nice bike!

    harley davidson should continue building/seeling/idunno buells and stop build uncool bikes - be more classic!

    really sad that they shut down buell :(

  • Erik was a real unique person in motorcycling and it's clear that this was really tough for him. Unqualified comments like stinkyminge's (pick another word for minge & change stinky for stupid!) are pathetic. I've owned a Buell for 3 years and it's a great machine. it's not competing with the Japs, it's in a different arena altogether. It's been totally reliable for me and rides, sounds & goes like nothing else. It is everything good about biking in one package. Good luck Erik and thanks.

  • Eric,

    You fucked up letting HD marketing dickheads take over development. Willie G is a tosser. The original attraction/concept was a HD motor strapped into a frame that handled well. Customising options typical to HD prodcts were endless. Buell grew into an expensive second rate Jap bike. Only HD would see the Buell as a tool to compete with the Japs at their own game. I would buy an Aprilia or Ducatti over the new Buell any day.

    Idiots, you fucked up!

    R.I.P. Buell

  • my xb12s remain forver with me......i love you buell

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooo

    nooooooooooooooooooooooo

    =(

  • will eric build another bike? will it ever re open when times get good again? so sad, love my m2!!

  • Yes, sad news. His company, his life. I see in his eyes, He loved his company. I am so sorry!!!

  • Estou indignado com essa notícia. Não seria mais fácil e lucrativa pro grupo Harley Davidson vender a marca Buell pra outro fabricante??? Mas parece que infelizmente questões corporativas se sobrepõem aos sonhos do Erik e dos fãs dessa marca.

    Mas ainda assim continuarei sonhando em ter uma XB9s.
