I can't stop thinking about riding this bike. It's such a blast!! The streetability is spot on between the gearing and torque. What a genius Erik is. I am still shaking my head why they pulled the plug on buell. |

Because Wandell hates sportbikes and thinks they shouldn't be made. |

I really like my Buell 1125R too (minor gripe on the front-end clunk/shock). "I am still shaking my head why they pulled the plug on buell." - They pulled the plug because of money / profit. There is simply much more money in selling hogs. The sportbike market is very competitive and it is much more difficult to make a buck building sportbikes. And, HD did not sell Buell to likely buyers to prevent possible embarrassment. Hopefully Eric can resurrect the his motorcycle line with a more parent company more motivated to build sportbikes, even if the venture is not high profit. |

It is unfortunate that Harley closed Buell down. I think things were about to change for the better thanks to the 1125R and CR and with the future additions of the next gen Buells. All I can say is if the bike caught on, Buell would have been a huge superbike competitor and profit margins would have soared! |

Wendell is an idiot! I got rid of everything that I owned that said Harley on it. |

It's an awesome bike, but sometimes I wonder... haha. My bike's already in because of charging issues.. I have less than 600 KM on it. I've ridden once in the past two weeks Also why does it leak gas on my driveway by design.. I need the cali charcoal canister |

...Also why does it leak gas on my driveway Answer - because you don't park it in the garage and let it leak there! |

Really sad thing is Wandell got $6.4 mill for laying people off and dumping the best thing hog had for their future. Really good thing is Feb 2011 is getting closer everyday. |
