BUELL - The End of an American Maverick




Today is a sad day for America and for motorcyclists... Buell Motorcycles is closings its doors.
I have driven a recent XB and taking into consideration this bike's drivetrain is based upon antiquated Harley Davidson components, I was very impressed with its balance and innovation. The balls Eric Buell must have had to actually take on monsters like Honda, Yamaha an Suzuki... not to mention starting his company 26 years ago out of a barn in the middle of Wisconsin... is the intro to half the American Success legends I have read.
