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

R.I.P. Buell
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.

H-D also plans to divest the MV Agusta line, which it acquired last year.

R.I.P. Buell Motorcycles. We'll miss you. At least until the product line is picked up by another manufacturer... (hey, a guy can hope, can't he?)
