As a Buell fan boi, I'd love a Yamaha/Buell confligration. My only concern is that this might mean Buell bits on Yamaha bikes rather than full blown Buell creations.
I'm a V-Twin guy. I've never been a fan of IL4 bikes. Buell innovations on an IL4 is probably something I wouldn't buy. Most Buell people feel the same.
There is a concerted effort by some group to save Buell. They are in negotiations with HD.
I'd see a private equity group having more luck at preserving most of the essence of Buell than Yamaha could.
I'm 99% sure the Yamaha thing is a hoax. The original poster referenced AP as the source, but there is no story anywhere on AP to back it up.
