For anyone who is confused as to which incarnation of Buell this is, the first thing to know is that it has nothing to do with Erik Buell except using his last name. The Wisconsin engineer whose legend lives on whenever Buell motorcycles come out has moved on to a new venture called Fuellthis makes an electric bicycle is now called the Fluid-1S and prepare to release an electric motorcycle.
The short story of Buell motorcycles reborn is when Harley-Davidson sold Buell after the 2008 financial crisis, Erik Buell was not allowed to use his name as a brand or build road bikes, so he picked up the pieces under the new name Erik Buell Racing. In the end, he had to build street motorcycles, making the EBR 1190RR and 1190RS as successors to the 1125R bikes from Harley day. EBR had a bad marriage with Indian motorcycle maker Hero in 2013 that led to bankruptcy in 2015. Hero acquired EBR’s R&D division, Liquid Asset Partners (LAP) and its CEO, Bill Melvin, bought the remainder after bankruptcy proceedings. LAP was able to acquire the rights to the Buell name in the US in 2020 and almost a year ago promised to release 10 new bikes in 2024. Two are already on the market and on delivery (currently 1190HCR for competitors only), two more will make their world debut next week.
Daytona Bike Week runs from March 4-13, Buell is scheduled to launch on March 5th. Anyone interested can pre-order $25 for Super Touring. at Buell site that day. Melvin said the variety will grow with future models, with “small and medium displacement motorcycles” in a range of cruisers, dirt bikes, dual sport and touring vehicles.
