Unfortunately the economy is on the buyers side right now I can buy an XB for cheaper than 2700 and I live in madison. Hell, I can buy any bike i want for that price.
Buells have not gone up in price, they degrade quickly. They have a not so good rep, and you see very few around here because of that. Its even getting harder to find an HD shop that will even work on a Buell.
People would rather get a jap sportsbike than a clunky buell. No offense. I love my buell, but I can see why EB quickly ditched the american crap with EBR.
