Seriously, I would really like to see the birth of a 1125r/cr or even XB. Just to see a short video on the whole assembly process. Sounds corny, but I take a lot of pride in the fact that Buell is American. Say what you will about parts and resourcing, and blah.... I would like to see it. Any thoughts? |

There is a short video in the "owners" section of the buell website. It's choppy and has some corny music to it...but it does show the birthing process minus the stirrups.

I wish I could go to the factory and visit. Just a bit to far away and my occupation requires me to take leave to go for long trips like that. I can put it on my list of things to do next riding season. |

At my visit to East Troy in August, I was able to see all the departments and the assembly line. Really cool! I was surprised at how few station there were for assembly and how much was done at each one. Each station had a timer for each of the jobs the person had to do and it was very organized given how little room there was. Really nice people and a cool visit if you can make it. Ken |

This one is kind of interesting. WARNING it's a BMW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XuKmkeBK0g and this is one part of a Bimoto series this part on manufacturing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XuKmkeBK0g I love watching this stuff. Sorry I could not find a Buell one. |

Great BMW video. Some processes VERY SIMILAR to Buell. Some processes JUST THE OPPOSITE to Buell. Part at 1:25 is where I laughed. Not at BMW, it's a fine bike but at the process. But I am a huge fan of human beings. I suspect Buell will make the human to robot change the same time NASA stops putting humans in the capsule. There is no machine in the world that can compete with a human being. Cool stuff. . . . I always am amazed watching this. Geforce. . . if you ever get back in the MO area on leave and can get to East Troy for a day let me know! Court |
