Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 16, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just saw that Erik Buell Racing shut down and is liquidating. I am sad to see them go. They made some great looking bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member snowdriftless Posted April 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 16, 2015 Honestly, I will be sad to see them go. The original Buells and EBR racing machines looked awesome and well designed. I'm going to miss them. P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodapas Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 poor Erik. That guy just can't catch a break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Holy crap. Great bike builder, bad businessman? The guys who laid down serious cash for a new EBR, where they gonna get parts and service? My freind recently bought one and I bet he is pissed. Wow Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruizin Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Now that I have had a week to think about it, they could buy it out and then let Erik run it. Heck, this might have been planned?

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Global Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2015 I hope you guys are right. They make (made) some really nice bikes. I guess time will tell. It seems like Erik has a knack for comebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The new EBR's are killer freakin bikes, especially considering how new they are. This would be HUGE for hero. If they can make a 700CC sportbike kinda like the FZ-07 but set up with components for the track it would be a huge seller. I'd create a forum for that bike!
