Buell the only American Sport bike company, can it be saved?

I fully believe in the Spirit that Buell is as well....

It was such a horrible thing to do to the workers of Buell.... They Love Live and Breath this company. IT was family for all the workers. Most of them working 10-15-26 years with Eric. I hope that someone will read about this and figure out a way to save them....

Both my parents worked there and now they will be let go right before Christmas.....

ITs just a shame

Sorry, while it is a shame for the workers at Buell, the bike never did a thing for me. Every year at the cycle show I would sit on all the different models of Buells. Clearly the bikes were not designed for a 6'1" tall rider. Weird ergonomics. Shift lever was designed for someone with at size 6 shoe, not a size 12. Just didn't fit me worth a darn. Shame the new 1125R had such potential to be discontinued so soon after being released.

I do not agree the Buells were works of art. Again a good handling (I have read) saddled with a huge, average engine.

The people have voted with their wallets. And they have voted NO.

I agree with Baron. If you still like Buell it's because of one of two reasons:

1) you haven't owned the buell long enough or...

2) you haven't owned another sport bike.

Sorry to say it. I am a true-blooded American red neck son of a b*****, but I also face the facts and know that America can not make a damn car or bike right.

The only credit I'll give to HD is their sound. NO other bike sounds close to them...but what is it worth if it don't run half the time?

Buell made great bikes.I'm gonna buy a 1125R before they are gone. Will my 99 Cyclone be a collectors bike?

They were ugly and sounded nasty (in the bad sense of the word) ill handling, ill engineered pieces of filthy swill and I'm glad i don't have to look or listen to them any more. Good riddance Beu-Hell. 2 wheeled Edsel junk wagon hit by an ugly stick and left to rot along some side alley in Milwaukee County somewhere then run over by a Milwaukee County snow plow and then Willie G Davidson came and took a dump on it and who in their RIGHT mind would ever buy a dam Buell? Like a Harley isn't bad enough.

Most people I know threw rocks at Buell considering them unreliable and uncomfortable with a serious vibration problem. If they were all you claim the motorcycle buying public would have saved them..

I agree it is a good machine. But how far into the red can a company go for how long before it breaks?

Simply too many cheaper alternatives on the market.

They went belly up today. Sorry
