I always thought Buells were made in the good old USA. I guess I was wrong. Check out this e-bay ad:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-Buell-1125r-Du cati-Aprilia-Low-Miles-/130432364081?pt=US_motorcy cles&hash=item1e5e5fee31

"This may just be the best kept secret of Italy this past decade! Yes, I wrote Italy!"

"Treat yourself to the most affordable Italian road/race warrior – you will not regret the purchase!"

Dear dec111956,

Don't want to step on any toes, but Buells are not made in Italy but rather Troy, Wisconson. The engine is a joint effort between Rotax (Austrian) and Buell designers. Hope this helps.
BTW Buell builds a great motorcycle!

FYI, Buells were made in East Troy, Wisconsin. I Don't remember the street address but it was on Buell Drive. Been to five Buell Homecomings there. Hope to attend many more in the future.

His ad also states - "Oh also. It's made in the good old USA! Thank you Buell for an amazing machine!"
Maybe he was just trying to say the bike was as good as an Italian bike in a strange way or something??

The XB frames were made by Verlicchi in Italy.

that pic of the bike looks like the "Danny DeVito" part of the movie "twins" if the 1125CR was the "Arnold Schwarzenegger" part.

The Internet builds a strong case for the bell shaped curve distribution model.

There are some genuinely stupid people out there.

I just had the most amazing eBay / pay pal experience I could have ever imagined. The guy was going to teach me a lesson. He most certainly did.

Oddball - "Look at the chinese made indonesian modified Buell cr clone."

Ugh, apologies to all...I started in on the brew a bit early today and am posting faster than my brain is comprehending what it's reading...DESIGNED in Europe, but BUILT in China...
Sorry, I'm done now.
