No market?! Wow !! Where have you been!? Living under a rock. my dads friends, has a home worth 7 million and is a buell fan. When I showed him the articles on the 1190 he went nuts. Called ebr directly and was told all 100 carbon editions were SOLD and they would not make him one upon request. 44000 for the carbon edition 100 of them. Do the math. Erik buell is doing just fine. I don't think you get your company established by making a subpar streetbike with a couple of flaws. You have to show the world what you are capable of. And I think that's exactly what he's doing. You could also buy the 1190's competition - the desmosedici for twice the amount of the 1190. So look at what he's done there. Made a bike to run with the sedici for half the price. Although times may be tough for some people, don't kid yourself there's plenty of millionaire's out there getting bored. My dads friend, the same guy paid cash for a zr1 Corvette just last week. If you think he's having trouble selling his masterpiece after he was named motorcyclist of the year and his bike was named motorcycle of the year, you must be pretty dam gullable, or have a personal vengeance against the man.
