BRP is pretty BIG. I was thinking along the same lines. Buell would be a nice addition to their 3-wheelers. I would just bet Buell/ H-D owes BRP a good piece of coin for tooling etc. on the Helicon engine! Neil S. | ||

Rotax doesn't make bikes, they've been around long enough that if they wanted to make a line of Rotax machine, they would have done so by now. Not saying it is not possible, but I don't think they want to go into complete machines (at least not in the USA). | ||

Rotax doesn't make vehicles, but their parent company does. | ||

This was the first thing that came to my mind....sell Buell to BRP/Rotax. What a match made in heaven. With all of their expertise from the BMW and Aprilia years, plus the snowmobile and ATV knowledge. They have access to a dealer network. I just keep refreshing my browser and hoping to see a post on here saying Buell has been saved. | ||

Rotax couldn't buy Buell because H-D ain't selling. Simple as that. ~SM | ||

Greg: Yeah they don't make 2 wheeled bikes but, have you ever seen their Spyder. Besides they have an great deal of manufacturing and assembly experience. If BMW, Buell, Aprilia, just to name a few trust BRP to build for them, they probably have the experience and expertise! | ||
