In another Brilliant move by a company known for them, Harley kills Buell immediately after finally reaching the holy grail of sportbike dreams - winning the AMA Superbike championship.

Just as Buell is poised to become a real player in the Superbike world, bringing a whole new demographic (read MONEY BASE!!!) they close shop.

Wow, doesn't really surprise me though. I just don't see that many around. It's to bad but in that industry the Asians seem to have the market wrapped up!! I hate to see more North Americans loosing their livelihood to the oversees competitors.
