The history of Buell part 3 is up on youtube, but he glossed over the Hero screwjob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrALI2uNyP0 | ||

Funny, I watched that an hour ago as it came up on the "Recommended" list. I was surprised about the Hero screwing not being mentioned. | ||

I was surprised about the Hero screwing not being mentioned. I'd guess he's worried about getting a legal hassle from Hero. As far as what's been "officially" put out there, we know there was a disagreement between Erik Buell Racing and Hero about money and work. That was documented in the legal proceedings after the company went into receivership. Unofficially, several people I'd trust to tell the truth have said Hero did their best to royally screw Erik Buell Racing. Still, you have to hope one day somebody will tell the whole story minus any filtering. | ||

It comes down to reliable sources and he didn't have one (see the comments). If someone would be willing to step up with reliable facts, then I'm sure he would edit a new version. In short he did the right thing. | ||

Enjoying a rare day off, just finished all 3 parts. Very nicely done by The Illestrator. Got a big surprise when I saw myself on the 1190RS at the inaugural Colorado Mile. 11:11 pt. 3 Got her over 170mph several times that weekend. Thanks for the prod to watch, Greg. Z | ||

"... the brand is working on a motorcycle that will have an engine displacement between 250cc and 500cc for the Asian markets and it will be developed in alliance with a manufacturer in the region. The name of the company's future partner has not been revealed as of now and the launch timeline is also a mystery..." | ||

He has a pretty good pair of videos on the Japanese speed wars. The style is entertaining and it's relatively accurate and factual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jr-fBW-Sq0 | ||
