A sad day indeed, they were quirky but very innovative. If they'd had a decent engine to use I'd have been far more interested I must say, but I'm still a little sad to see them go...

Re: RIP Buell Motorcycles
Turns out it’s mainly Harleys problem. Income down 84% in 12 months.
Rumor has it that they take more in t-shirt sales than for bikes.
Also selling MV again. Been put on the market today after only 14 months.
So lots of uncertainty and only 3 weeks before the new F4 is to be shown.
And what with Guzzi struggling....

shame indeed, really liked their odd ball looks! Sounds ominous for Harley too.
Cut me in half and I'v got Suzuki written right through me!
