Buell have declared bankruptcy again. Not a fan of the marque, but a shame none the less http://www.autoblog.com/2015/04/15/erik-buell-racing-declares-bankruptcy/
So is that the end for the WSBK race team too? Can't say I'm surprised tbh. The new EBR bikes aren't the greatest looking things, and they ain't cheap considering they are BMW S1000RR powered.... **Edit ignore me...The EBR 1190RX is V-Twin powered. I'm getting confused with the new Bimota that uses the S1000RR motor... The EBR was still pricey tho - never gonna win sales when your direct competitor is the Panigale....
I nearly bought a 1200 lightning several years ago, but could only find horror stories about reliability shame as I really liked it bought a Hornet instead!
It just leaves a bad taste this insolvency malarkey,maybe he should have asked him what happens to all the people you owe money to every time you go tits up. Some nice looking bikes though not sure on the explanation of the single disc and 185 bhp from a 1190 engine.
Rode a friend's xb9. Nice riding position, sounded great and handled "like on rails". Needed about 80 more bhp though...
