I think it means that a few Harley/Buell shops that started carrying KTM bikes will now be having a clearance sale.

You couldn't possibly have an Austrian bike called a Victory, they'll annex the Sudetanland before the paint is dry : )

This along with their design cooperation w/ Arlen Ness I think spells increased and real competition for HD.

With Buell moving further away from Sportbikes, first with the "Street Fighter" and now with "Adventure Sport", do you think there is a chance with Victory (with KTM) producing a true American Sportbike?

With Buell moving further away from Sportbikes...

Wha? Have they stopped production of the 9 & 12R's?

C'mon, they're just rounding out their product line. And very nicely ; )

Your right, they are definitely the sportiest of the "Street Fighters".

I would hope that they would not stop production of the 9R and 12R.
