BUELL OFFICIALS THANK CUSTOMERS, DEALERS AND EMPLOYEES FOR UNFORGETTABLE RIDE
EAST TROY, Wis. (Oct. 15, 2009) - Buell Motorcycle Company officials thanked the company's customers, employees and dealers for an unforgettable ride, following today's announcement by Harley-Davidson, Inc. that it will discontinue the Buell® product line as part of Harley-Davidson's go-forward business strategy. The new long-term strategy aims to drive Company growth through a focus of efforts and resources on the Harley-Davidson® brand.
"I want to personally thank all our past and present Buell employees, dealers and suppliers for their efforts. I also want to thank Buell motorcycle owners for their support and passion for the brand," said Buell Motorcycle Company President Jon Flickinger.
Flickinger said a limited number of new Buell motorcycles remain available for sale through authorized dealerships and production will wind down by October 30. He also stressed that Harley-Davidson will provide replacement parts and service through dealerships and that warranty coverage will continue as normal for Buell motorcycles.
"I will always be proud of what we have accomplished. It is a testimony to what a small group of passionate and inspired people can do, and with brilliant innovations, we've produced some of the best-handling bikes of all time," said Buell Chairman and Chief Technical Officer Erik Buell. "I personally look forward to exploring how I can continue to work with Harley-Davidson to bring advanced product technology to riders.
"I have also had the great fortune to meet and get to know many Buell riders over the years, and they are an amazing and interesting group of free thinkers," Buell said. "May you ride with pride into the future. And may your roads ahead be as adventuresome and rewarding as mine have been for the last 26 years."
A wholly owned subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. since 1998, Buell Motorcycle Company was founded in 1983 by Erik Buell and produced more than 135,000 motorcycles. Over the past 26 years, Buell motorcycles won numerous design accolades and awards, and countless races and championships around the world, including the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike championship in 2009.

I think NZ and Aus have only felt the edge of the GFC.
From the people I talk to online, things are really bad in Wisconsin. The everyday folks are hurting and the anti-Obama-ism is rampant.
I think they (Buell) may have shot themselves in the foot with the re-branding they have just gone through. The Book of Buell and the cubing of the Blast were poorly received by many of their existing customer base.
But what a shame for the workers. I like the Buell people and their products and have become friendly with a number of them. We wish them all the best.

HARLEY & BUELL WEBSITES UPDATED
Harley & Buell have their 2010 model ranges online now.
Both sites have added a degree of functionality and some funky features.
Causing some early Big Dave drooling are the XR1200X in a great looking Matte black.
Also getting the black heart treatment is the Fat Boy Lo.
Nothing new on the model front from Buell apart from some new colours. They are also featuring a fairing lowers kit that gives the 1125R a more conventional appearance.

Details are at www.h-d.com & www.buell.com
