Erik Buell Racing LLC received the investment from FirstPathway Partners LLC, Milwaukee. The investment firm is led by Bob Kraft and arranges funding from wealthy foreigners through the federal EB-5 program. “This investment in a growing American company is what the EB-5 program is all about,” Kraft told The Business Journal....."   Sparky Posted on Friday, July 20, 2012 - 01:03 pm:        WOWSER!!!   Steveford Posted on Saturday, July 21, 2012 - 12:15 pm:        Don't forget the optional hard bags, please, Mr. Buell!

In the other hand, Buell is an american company, God! Why an american company needs chinese investors? Obama's admin could help an legend! They do this to HD if i'am correct? Today, money can 'says' more than real and hard work, it is sucks!   Pikeben08 Posted on Thursday, July 26, 2012 - 02:32 pm:        Wow, autoblog was slow to finally post this: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/07/26/buell-fueled-wi th-20m-investment-plans-20k-streetbike/   Court Posted on Thursday, July 26, 2012 - 03:00 pm:        Not sure where Autoblog sources their information but there is a lot of phooey in there . . . .   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, July 26, 2012 - 03:13 pm:        Sure. It takes $100M to get a startup bike manufacturer off the ground. And it takes two disks an calipers to make a superbike stop   Dennis_c Posted on Monday, August 20, 2012 - 08:19 pm:        It takes one like me to win the super loto and buy 1190RS then I will be happy.
