It's been on the cards for a bit now Mike-too little, too late...

It's a shame really-tis a sign of the times

I think Honda will be OK for a bit longer

I am too Gilson...

I know Buells are a very individual bike-but I love mine. I've always appreciated what Eric has worked for-never followed the crowd.

Its a shame, just shows u how vunerable even established companies are atm. RIP Buell Motorcycles Wisconsin.

I loved em....they were getting better as each ranged was tweaked. I mean 150 hp from a twin is no mean feat

Great character and different. Prob had to spend loads on R+D just as the economy collapsed. Sh** timing thats all.
Buell RIP
