The Demise of Buell Motorcycle and the BII Bike

For those of you with interest the article below indicates the May issue of Cycle World has all the Info from the last days of Buell including a ride of the bike that many others and myself had a hand in designing and were very enthusiastic about seeing go into production.... hopefully Erik can bring it to life through the race shop. The writer of the article is Steve Anderson a platform director while I was there. I am very much looking forward to picking up this issue and seeing our bike, code named Barracuda II, for one last time

It looks like this is the same bike referred to?

It would have been a giant step in the right direction for Buell

Harley sucks.

But as long as there are trailer parks, people will find ways to buy them

" Harley spent tens of millions to crush the B-2 instead of selling of its rights"

I like the new "golf playing HD CEO", thats gonna look good on the Harley grave stone.
Still like to own a Roadglide but if they went belly up this year I would laugh out loud, dumbass'

Is the actual article available yet without buying the digital subscription? Small world Steve Anderson used to work at my company before he went to Buell.

Yes, did you take that picture somewhere around town? The prototype saw local road use
