Buell is done, finished, gone

I usually don't post links but the gist is HD is dropping Buell and looks like maybe shutting it down. Loss of 180 jobs.

sucks to hear but not entirely unexpected. Wonder what will happen to mv now? Piaggio group maybe?

This makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. Although it sucks for the people losing their jobs.

I want to go laugh in DMG's face. So you attempted to run off Japanese bikes and now your precious Buell has failed.

Shame

I really wanted to see them succeed with this new engine (one that didn’t shake the bike across the room at idle)

I think it's funny as far as DMG is concerned.

Overall though I hate to hear it...kinda sux.

Erik has a video that looks like he is about to cry and glosses over the competitive advantage he was given over factory teams

www.buell.com

Erik won't let buell dissolve.

Harley may drop em, but he'll come through with something else. He always does..

It is a shame though. If they would have franchised them out with the Japanese dealers instead of keeping them in the Harley boutiques, they may have sold better.

Watch the video on www.buell.com, he is sticking with Harley.

Until he's no longer contractually obligated? Lol

On the plus side, my anniversary edition probably won't depreciate so much!

just means marko will have something new to bitch about lol


it actually sucks, i was loving the buells and what they stood for
