Erik Buell is Back

Buell is back, okay not completely like most of us would wanted, but still. Erik Buell, recently made mildly redundant by the crumbling fortunes of Harley-Davidson, has announced that he's leaving Harley-Davidson to establish 'Erik Buell Racing', an independent motorcycle race company. Erik Buell Racing will specialize in the supply of race-us-only Buell motorcycle parts and race preparation services, and the building and sale of Buell 1152R-based race-use-only motorcycles.

“I'm looking forward to helping Buell racers keep their motorcycles flying,” said Erik Buell. “We've got some exciting race development projects in the works and it will mean a lot to me personally to see Buell racers competing for wins and championships.”
