I am not planing on giving it away if I do get an offer, but you know everything has a price and everything is for sale.

I have a 98 S3T and will NEVER sell it. It is a work of art...There is a reason it was in the Guggenheims' "The Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit...

RIP Buell!

Harley Davidson to shut down Buell

Sounds like another version of trimming off the fat to stay fit! I hope they do make a comeback. In the NHRA Buell is giving them all they can handle!

The Buell team is doing very well in The American Superbike championship race as well.

We can only hope there will be a come back, a unique part of motorcycling at this stage has stopped , .............

I guess Harley must be having a hard time because of the economy,they wont be producing Sportsters for 14 weeks. In my town big twins are more common than than Sportys. I see more chicks on softails, Glides and Dynas than Sportster. I can see Harley discontinuing the Sportster and just making big twins .

this i can never see happening why stop making one of the only orginal line up bikes, and one EU's best selling HD's?
the sportster is the orginal sports bike in the HD line up even if the Dyna's and other BT range have caught up

eric buell has started "eric buell racing" making performance parts and race engines aswell as race ready 1125R's in a licencing agreement with HD. He must have some good photos of someone hidden away haha

I doubt eric will sit by on this one. He has been on the edge for years, do A Goole search of Lucifers Hammer motorcycle and you will see his early machines
