O.K. I haven't been able to check the site for a while, and I hope this doesn't start any $#!* but i heard that Buell will be starting back up in a couple of years. Is there any truth to this or is it just B.S. that someone is spewing? Again I don't know and don't want to get anyones hopes up. Like I said I heard a RUMOR. Please be gentle when you respond. Thank you.

Interesting read.......

I think something is coming in the future..... maybe the spy shots are a teaser for the future...

I HOPE soo... I would be VERY interested in one.

Andy,

What though are the possibilities of it becoming a STREET LEGAL bike....

I am wondering if that is his plans... get them racing and exposure...then produce for the open market....

Doubt it with that bike- too many patents and what-not owned by the mothership.

But...this keeps him in the motorcycle business, which is a VERY good thing! Street bikes will come...

Makes you wonder IF the mothership were to go down by way of corporate buy out by a foriegn corporation IF that would change the game a little.....

Yes that was his plans to get exposure by winning races, but he never planned for Buell to be shut down. There will be no corporate buy out of Buell it has already been tried.

I'm thinking that in a couple years of so when I trade mine in for a KTM or Ducati and receive basically scrap metal trading value, two weeks after that Harley will re-introduce them and the trade in value will sky rocket. A couple weeks late for me though. : )
