According to the August '08 edition of MCN, Buell is one of only four motorcycle manufacturers forecasted to show an increase in sales this year. Based on 1st quarter sales, Buell, who makes up 0.7% of market share, is looking at a projected 27% sales increase from 4786 in 2007 to 6067 in 2008. I wonder how many of those are Ulys? The other three marks forecast to show positive numbers are Triumph(32%), BMW(31%) and Ducati(21%). The Sept. edition ought to be interesting - the umpteenth Adventure/Touring Comparison between the BMW R1200GS, KTM 990 Adv. and the Uly. |

Three very different bikes, IMHO. |

Just so long as they don't get too big and then I lose my uniqueness owning a Buell. But on the bright side if they sell too many I won't have to go through the rigormoral of having to explain what a Buell is every time someone asks me what kind of bike I ride. |

>>>>Just so long as they don't get too big and then I lose my uniqueness owning a Buell. Hehehehehe. . . . that's what I said in 1989.

After riding Moto Guzzis for years I thought Buell was main stream! |
