Interesting that somebody purchased the rights and is trying to jumpstart the brand again. (I'm guessing without Eric)

Using this new engine platform.

Gosh, I've just never had the desire to own a Buell, in any iteration. Re-launching during a pandemic seems kind of oblivious too. I have to figure a lot of their typical market doesn't have the expendable income for a new specialty bike.
If only we could find a light v-twin sportbike that is comfortable, handles well, and appeals to a broad audience - oh wait - Suzuki has done this for millennia.

I wish Buell and H-D well with their new 1200cc V-Twin adventure and roadster models. However I have a feeling the future is in mid-size bikes like the Triumph Trident, Tiger 900, and the Aprilia 660. The trend is towards lighter and cheaper bikes. I don't see much need for >1000cc engines and beyond on the street, especially in the US with its strict speed limits.

Need? No.

But, want? Swing a leg over a KTM Superduke 1290R. Brutal acceleration rouses a primal instinct.

Buell? What's a word that means almost hopeless?

you know when they were auctioning their shit (the last 2 times) the thought did cross my mind...

Oh I absolutely believe you.
