WOW!!! I fucking laughed for at least 3 minutes!!!

Actually, despite our previous disagreements, I like Marko and I truly feel bad for him! That's one good thing about my GSXR forum, there's been 24/7 Buell bashing without any remorse over there!!!

You'll never convince me that if I was trying to sell my 2006 GSXR for what a new one costs that you guys wouldn't rag on me!!! Come on, the guy is trying to sell a damaged, used bike for what a new one goes for. Anyway, does this bike belong to your new boyfriend or what?

Nope it's drewpys roommate.

My B/F doesn't own a bike.

*edit* Wait you mean there are actually people not posting because Buell is closing it's doors ?

anyone else see the (probably fake) yamaha buyout rumor? Makes for some interesting hypotheticals. Personally i hope its true cause it'd stick a thumb in all those protectionist bastards eyes

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.

That is not nearly as likely as Yamaha putting it's bits in on the Buell name.
