Sorry but this is exactly what I said was why I decided not to buy a Buell when they were so cheap last year... I honestly hope you guys make out okay.

I'm fine, for now. Nothing wrong with my bike. I dread the day I have to try to get parts though. I'm fucked, as most other Buellers are at this point.

It's not so bad for guys that went in AFTER the closing, they knew what they were getting into. It's the guys that bought just before the event that have really, really been hosed down... HD should give you guys special trade values or something.

I heard that...but getting HD to do anything for a Buell rider when the company was still open was tough.

QFT!!! Another reason I didn't buy... just their attitude when you went in and asked about Buell was enough to turn me around.

There are/were a few good dealers out there that actually cared. But they are few and far between.

No doubt, I'd be for that.

True story, hoping since it's the "25th anniversary edition" and has his "signature" on it, maybe it will be worth a bit more... maybe...

You never know, it may gain worth eventually... I guess you have to weigh these problems against the insanely low price you paid for the bike. Rae Rae was just talking about a $5000 rebate which they use as a down payment basically allowing you to walk out with a $11,000 bike for a loan on $6000 and zero money down. Not bad.
