Hmmm. well it sure lacks in the visuals with the gaping front fish mouth. Mebe that shouldent be a concern...... here's my concern, as Buell moves in this direction will they more or less get away from the Harley Davidson parentage, and if so will they finally not be a part of the HD group?Certainly the Rotax is a proven motor and I'v not heard any bad for some years, as when ATK was using their motors. I guess what I'm getting at, will this be a divorce? |

Unlikely. HD owns BMC. They're not business partners. BMC gets to ride on HD's dealer network, purchasing power, etc. HD makes sense for Buell, even though some of us wish we didn't have to wade through all the chrome to get service. |

Even Harley's used Rotax engines before in the MT series. |

The only way Buell and HD part ways is if HD sells it. If Buell was a loser, they'd probably dump it, but from what I read, Buell makes them money as a "Boutique" motorcycle company. |
