Been skimming every forum I can find in order to get the skinny on my beloved Buell... any truth to this? ANYONE? October 16, 2009 AP Iwata, Japan In a statement released by Yamaha Motor Corporation, Hirofumi Osawa, President of Yamaha Corporation of America, stated that the company is looking into acquiring recently defunct Buell Motorcycles. “We are interested in the spirit of innovation that Buell has used as a foundation in their business. We feel their values align well with Yamaha’s culture”, stated Mr. Osawa. According to Yamaha, discussions of a purchase are in the exploratory stage. Harley-Davidson Corp, owner of Buell since 2003, could not be reached for comment. |

Pretty sure its a hoax that started on Facebook. There is no such story on the AP website. |
