R.I.P. Buell Motorcycles -- Harley-Davidson to shut down Buell, divest MV Agusta

R.I.P. Buell

Harley-Davidson announced the end of the Buell line.

This is not a huge surprise given Harley-Davidson's financial situation, although it is bad news for enthusiasts. The new Buell models, especially the Buell 1125R and 1125CR models were kick-ass bikes and certainly worthy of consideration by many sport bike enthusiasts.

Buell Discontinued

It's a sad day in Wisconsin. Buell Motorcycle Company will discontinue production. Erik Buell founded Buell Motorcycle Company in 1983, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. since 1998. In 26 years more than 135,000 Buell motorcycles were produced. Buell motorcycles have won many awards for innovative design features. Buell also won the 2009 AMA Pro Daytona Sportbike Championship.

Harley-Davidson Q2 2009 profit down 91% - the slump continues...

Harley Davidson sales slump continues

In an earlier story about the 2008 H-D sales slump, I wondered whether the then-current slump would extend into the 2009 (and possibly 2010) Harley-Davidson model year sales.

Well, I'm sure it won't come as much of a surprise in this economy: Harley-Davidson reports second-quarter profits are off by 91% over the same quarter in 2008. Revenue declined 27 percent to $1.15 billion. Hard times are expected to continue into 2010 as the economy remains weak.
