There was a place near me called that sold Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, HD and Buell (with Kawi dealer next door and Duc dealer 5 miles away). It was the only time I've ever sat on a Buell. I've never stepped foot into a Harley dealership.
they do sell them overseas, hell europe seems to have more buells than we do and you cant watch a BSB race without seeing 5000 HD banners
