Its a shame, but if they don’t sell, why make them? From a buisness perspective. They can’t keep a struggling brand alive just for a few people that buy them. I’ve thrown a leg over a lightning, I like v-motor torque (owned a vfr750), but it didn’t rev to save its life, it just didn’t produce the sportbike rush I get from my current CBR at WOT. Power kinda falls off abruply in the higher revs. Wierd riding position, didn’t really like bein in the saddle. Just a small machine. Other than that, cool bikes. Love those daring innovations like in frame fuel tanks. To the guy that thinks all asian bikes look the same, you’re either blind or biased. I appreciate all things on wheels, no matter the country where they were produced. I just happen to ride honda. Its all personal preference. No rider is exactly the same. Erik, keep building solid race bikes, we know how that goes, ama title? Kinda impressive, still a very young race program. Hold it down for the states.

Eric, I’m a cruiser guy – always have been, and a proud owner of multiple Harleys over the years. but I’ve come close to buying a Buell motorcycle a couple of times, and had plans to do so once my last kid left the house. My sympathies. I won’t be surprised if a hot line of Sportster-related, Eric Buell insignia bikes start showing up in the new product line of H.D., and I think they will be foolish not to do just that.

Best wishes.

Personally, I have not owned a Buell yet. I have been admiring them for the last 5 years and can’t wait to get one of my own. I will be purchasing a used Firebolt next summer and look forward to the opportunity to buy a new Buell a couple years down the road.

I have owned several Buell’s and have ridden many … Eric Buell you are truly an American innovator that has showed us all want American’s can do when they have a passion and work as a team. I look forward to the future of your ideas as I know this will not be the end of Eric Buell and that passion that you have shared with so many, but perhaps just the beginning.

Good Luck

I own an XB9S It is an incredible bike. I hope someone picks up this very innovative company, who actually dared to do something different. Take the emblems off all the “big 4″ asian motorcycle manufacturers and u could not tell them apart. My Buell eats these run of the mill bikes for breakfast in the canyons and on surface streets with pure american heart pounding grunt.

Go swim in a river…gun?
