Guess they'll get the old dusty corner and take over the rider's edge duty.

Did you check the date? The article is nearly a year old and was beaten to death on here. A handful of dealers and planning on adding those bikes to their lineups, nothing new. My dealer sells Triumph and some brand of trailers too, it is no different.

So this is part of the Motor companys grand plan to claw their way back to the top? Dump Buell, which was really getting a faithful following and planning to intro some truly top shelf bikes, and pick up a cheaper clone of what they already have? I just dont get it. My only regret is that i should have bought a nice XB while there were some and did'nt. Just not interested, even less now.

No, the motor company has nothing to do with this. It is a handful of dealers acting on their own. It even says in the article "ATK CEO Frank White explains-though The Motor Company in no way endorses his plans"
