Browsing buell.com today I found a new(?) feature where you can search by state and lists all the available buells by dealer.

Thought it was pretty neat. Currently there are 1441 Buells left in the USA.

http://www.buell.com/en_us/tools/find-a-bike/

Is this a new feature?

There are quite a few 2010's on there, but not many 1125's. Let's see how fast you get to your phones......

1 Red 1125R at Central Texas, Round Rock HD/Buell

2 1125R. One Artic White and one black in Sante Fe HD/Buell, Sante Fe, NM

1 Black 1125CR at Pacific HD/Buell in Honalulu, HI

It is.

They committed $70,000,000 to "dealer incentives" to get rid of existing inventory.

Do the math.

Very cool. Also very sad to see how few Buells are left in some states.

The only feature I don't see that would be useful is to be able to locate a specific model/year regardless of location.

When I was in Santa Fe last week, they had a Lightning, a Lightning Long, and a City X on the floor as well as two CR's. I was told that they had bought up 150 Buells from other dealers to feed their shops. That group owns Santa Fe Harley as well as a few HD shops in Florida, I'm told. I bought the last XT that they had on site a few weeks ago.

Dammit I want a new Uly so bad. Too bad they still cost more than the 1125R's.

Somebody **is** making out like a bandit. It is not the dealer.

Buell had ALL that "find a bike" and "build your Buell" functionality in 1997, about 10 years before anyone else popped up with the "build it" functions.

An executive at Harley-Davidson flew to M.I.T. To see the demo of what we'd developed at Cambridge Technologies and hit the ceiling declaring "Buell will have nothing that HD doesn't . . It will make us look like we are in the dark ages".

Program killed.

only four left in OK. 2 X's 2 XT's. All at the same dealer.

Not a big surprise since there are only two dealers in the state and I bought the last Buell from dealer #2 : )

Just a word of 'warning' (sorta) - the locator shows all bikes in stock, including bikes that have deposits on them and/or are spoken for. My dealer is showing three like that. Just 'cause a state *says* 24 bikes...doesn't mean 24 available. Just 24 that haven't been delivered yet.

Wonder why they were closed?

It will make us look like we are in the dark ages", they do that all by them selves. Only sheep dont see the situatuion for what it is..

Cool tool, I hope I have some money freed up to buy one soon, or that this will still be up when I can buy one. Maybe this summer.


I agree about harley, some of those folks are/were real fools.

Dark Age indeed.

Also for the record, after the now-infamous "cubing" incident, this site doesn't include Blasts.

Just because they aren't listed there on the site, doesn't mean they're not out there.

We have 2 2010 Blasts in stock right now. With, well, very little marketing support. At least, very little un-cubed marketing support.

(Insert joke about thinking outside of the cube here.)

"Do the math."

Hmmm... 1419 bikes left now, I'll take a random guess there were 4500 new Buells on October 15. If so H-D is spending $15k+ to get rid of each Buell... Sounds like a great business plan : |.

If only H-D had this sort enthusiasm for marketing and selling Buell's before now...

One of the questions I've been asked by an LA paper and a financial paper, both doing Buell stories, is when Harley-Davidson, with their mega-marketing couldn't get Buells to sell.

I quoted one of the marketing consultants who worked for Harley . . . "many of them could not get over their personal disdain for Buell".

"many of them could not get over their personal disdain for Buell".

Why was there disdain for Buell?

I just don't get it?

probably because it meant freedom and individualism more than harley did itself.
