Buell designed the motor, no matter who makes it... it is still a buell motor. Its like saying that that bridge you crossed on your way to work is Chinese because it is made using Chinese steel.

if you got a heart transplant from a guy who rode BMWs, does that make you a BMW rider from then on?

even if you didnt wear gray flip face helmets and funny gray jumpsuits with reflectors all over them?

Those are Aerostitch suits, and mine looks just as silly on my Buell. Hmf.

That was damn funny.

I wasn`t trying to be disrespectful or negative either , I was simply stating a fact. I guess I should relax.
Maybe we should go back to calling it "Erik`s Land" . Kinda has a nice ring to it!

Do we know for certain that these engines are not and will never be built here?

It's changed now, but Land Rover bought the rights to use a Buick V-8 for their Discovery line. I'm pretty sure that the Land Rovers were NEVER considered a GM product.

I'm pretty sure no Sportster builders were harmed in the making of the 1125R.
