That's because HD dealerships are use to a bunch of mid-life crising 40 year olds who want the biggest baddest HD to brag to their friends about and haven't ridden a bicycle since they were 14 much less a high TQ heavy ass shitty handling/braking motorcycle.

The only reason I see people get to test ride triumphs/ducs/aprillia/etc is because in general people who want those bikes (or are willing to buy them) already have riding experience on top of being in their 30s or so with decent jobs to pay for the bike.

Americans weren't the only ones that enjoyed Buells. Here is a big fan in Japan of all places...

That is actually a gas mask. I'm pretty sure that I know the guy that owned that.

He ran a website called PDGMoto.com selling Buell Gauge cluster face plates.

Really good guy.

If HD really wants to get their shit in gear, they need to quit axing the interesting stuff. All they're keeping and hyping is poser parking lot weekend badass bikes. I bet if they came out with something like the Royal Enfield 500, they'd get a lot more beginners and females. Price it right- the Enfield is $5k, fuel injected.

I've never been a fan of the short, jacked-up tails that seem to be popular these days, but that bike looks tits. I especially like the header pipes on Buells.
