Look at the success rate of US bike companies with great ideas for great products.
Victory (great bike, but a harley clone)
Indian, same as victory.
Confederate, built on the Vtwin platform
Buell, great bike driven into the ground by harley, truley squandered potential
Fischer, a decent bike nobody ever heard of
Roehr, the american version of Bimoto, also nobodys ever heard of it
I love the idea of owning a small boutique brand bike, but I don't think I will ever, just too many variables.
I seriously considered a buell instead of the KLR, but even that, the most successful non cruiser american bike company has failed us.
