Buell is done, finished, gone

Before I actually worked a sales floor at an HD dealer, I had a pretty negative outlook on Harleys. They were unreliable. They leaked oil. You had to carry a tool box with you just to keep them running. The usual.

The latest offerings by HD are VERY high quality good running bikes. I was surprised how well put together and dependable they are.

They are on par with anything out there as far as quality.

I can even justify the price to a degree. There is NOTHING that is plastic on any Harley. Everything is either painted metal or cast. They weigh 900+ pounds for a reason.

If you are paying by the pound, the price is in line with their metric competitors.
