Buell is done, finished, gone

Dude you are so wrong here... I'm sorry Chris but I don't remember you coming to the defense of GSXRs whenever people diss on them. You realize that fucking Suzuki was the "dream of one man" at one point right? You understand at one time there were hundreds of motorcycle brands that have gone by the wayside... Sometimes different isn't better... sometimes different is just different. Some of Erik's ideas were good, some were kooky, some are just plain pointless, none have been proven as "better".

At the end of the day, the market determines what stays and what goes. At one time the mono shock was a "crazy idea", over time it was proven to be superior... Buell had over 20 years to prove that his ideas were superior, he failed. Sport bikers are far from afraid to embrace revolutionary ideas. New ideas are what we're all about. If his ideas were that much better, his bikes would have sold like hot cakes. They weren't so they didn't.

I have said this for years and I mean it. If an American company produces a bike as good or better than mine for the same money, with the same reliability, I'll buy it!!!
