Buell should be a new line of harley davidson motorcycles,not a different company,and harley destroying buell shows they are on self destruction mode,and nobody in todays world is going to pay 17,000 for a v-rod or 10,000 for a sportster with no rear set.

Harley Davidson will file for bankruptcy… it’s now just a matter of time. It’s unfortunate, because at lest Buell wanted to produce motorcycles for an ever changing market. It’s a shame jobs will be lost, but the company has had it’s head up it’s ass for a long time and there better not be government intervention to save them again!

i am one that does not cut down Harley but this makes me want to run every loud retarded slow piece of crap off the road i see. Harley has stopped being about what Americans want and more about its precious image that in my opinion needs a upgrade. today i sold my 2003 fat boy and will never own a hd product again. Harley is no longer a motorcycle company and to me is more like a designer label. Its more of a status symbol than a quality piece of machinery. Honda gold wings make the best full dressed motorcycles in the world and the only reason people by these Harley is because their due rag wearing friends would make fun of them they are heaver slower and less efficient than any of its competition. But as long as rich ass weekend warriors buy the brand then they will be in business what next is Harley gonna move its plant to Mexico f#@! harley long live buell

Went to checkout Buells and Harleys and noticed three things:
1. Harleys have improved in quality but are still loud, slow and heavy.
2. Harley salesmen were really challenged not to sneer when showing the Buell Blast.
3. The Buells looked like Harley was finally starting to break out of the “one trick pony” thing of loud, slow and heavy but it desperately needs a new millenium engine whose transmission isn’t twice the size of the engine. Imagine how fast and nimble Buells would be with a newer, lighter, less maintenance intensive engine?
Well, I guess Harley guys will be happier now. They should merge with Chrysler/Fiat.

Just Bike magazine in Australia state that Buell is has “been tipped for a product development role within H-D, but this has yet to be confirmed”
I agree with some of the other folks that I suspect that Harley will park Buell until the market improves and wheel it out later.
If you assume Harly didn’t want to loose Buell this is logical. They are obviously hurting having axed 1,000 H-D jobs earler in the year.
I am not from the USA but both Buell and HD are wonderfull American motorcycles. Are Harleys any good, I think harley make the best Harleys in the world. But I’m biased.
Saying Harley riders are posers is a bit of a sweeping statement, what about the dirt track riders. There are thousands of patriotic Americans, who want to buy Made in USA, keep the jobs there. Buel will be back!
