Well it's Harley derived so to speak. Buell unique pistons and heads and intake and exhaust. Valves and springs I think are uniquely Buell too. They are not just Sportster engines dropped into XB frames.

Well, Harley owns Buell, so anything developed by Buell is still a Harley product.

I am interested to see how he is going to deal with the licensing of the fuel-in-frame, and probably the front brakes. He told me that Harley still owns those patents, and that bike clearly has both of those going on.

However, I think that is just a race bike with fans. I couldn't tell you why it has a taillight, since they didn't bother to put headlights on it.

My guess was to take the bike out for a spin on the streets. I wouldn't be surprised if that tag might of been found on the back of a different bike earlier that day.

On the books yes, technically no since they were not shared. Ferrari and Maserati are owned by Fiat but I would not call a Ferrari a Fiat.

Anyone hear of a dealer network being set up? Maybe Bombardier dealers?
