I'm really hoping that the aquisition of MV will help the Buell dealer network...but we'll see.

with the current attitude of HD/Buell dealers, I doubt it. It's sad, but the truth.

And when you get there and realize you don't like the layout and the rules, then try www.buelletinboard.com

It won't feel like your eyes are puking and nobody will yell at you for posting something about the 1125cr tire stems in the XB tire stems section...

True...the layout sucks BALLS hardcore. I'm also a frequent visitor of the Buelletinboard.

If the buells werent so small, it would be the next bike I put in the garage. And not because im a HD owner. I was a complete disbeliever in buell before t-mall got one. I didnt even ride it very far, at 6'4" its far too uncomfortable for me. But it is the most nimble bike ive ever ridden. It didnt give me the confidence my rc51 did, didnt feel as planted, but everytime i touched the bars the bike did everything I wanted. It wasnt lightning fast, but it had great acceleration.

Dude, it's not like a marriage or bf-gf thing....H-D owns Buell, so Buell can't just go their own way b/c they don't feel the love.

While I agree in point, but some of those exec types can sure up and leave the company to go somewhere else or start a new one.

Why would they? Erik already did that once. Buell is still a relatively small company. Harley-Davidson provided much needed financial support.
