The XB frames WERE made by Italians but now they are made in the U.S.

That is inaccurate information.

Who cares where the engine is made?Seems like it will be a great bike.I did do a search and found where a few "BWB" regulars bashed the Fischer as not being a true American bike because of the foreign engine.I would imagine that a few years from now the Helicon manufacturing could be transfered to the states,heck with the Dollar down against other currency it might make a lot more sense to be built here.

when you are riding your 1125 and someone asks you, what is it/buell how are you going to explain it?

when they ask me about my xb i tell them it is a buell/harley built sportbike with are harley motor and they understand.

are you going to tell them its a buell/harley built sportbike with a rotax motor? they are going to go huh?

and then you can tell them, you know the motors in sea-dos and then they will go oooh.

personally i think the rotax motor is a huge mistake, but what do i know

good luck buell

Just say "It's a Buell, a sportbike made in Wisconsin with 146 HP. Wanna go riding?". I think that says it all. This engine is the luck we have needed for a long time!!!

i think they should have did more with the xbrr engine and put that into production

Have you looked at the 2008 XBs? Where do you think the improvements came from?
