The first Buell motorcycle, the RW750, was built in 1983 purely for competing in the AMA Formula 1 motorcycle road racing championship. At that time, Erik Buell was a top contending privateer motorcycle racer. After completion of the first two RW750 racing machines, one of which was sold to another racing team, the Formula 1 series was cancelled. Buell then turned his focus towards racing-inspired, street-going machines using engines manufactured by Harley. In 1993, Harley-Davidson Incorporated joined in partnership with Buell Motor Company as a 49% stake holding minority partner and the company formed was renamed Buell Motorcycle Company. In 1998, Harley purchased majority control of Buell, and it has been a subsidiary since that time. Since then, Buell has used modified Harley-Davidson Sportster engines to power its motorcycles.
This portfolio reports on Buell production from 1985 up to the closing of the company in 2009. Articles, drawn from three continents, trace all models over this period. Included are road and comparison tests, riding impressions, new model intros & performance data. Reported on are the RW750A, RR1000, RR, RS, RSS1200, S2, S3T, S1, Lightning, Thunderbolt, Blast, Ulysses, Firebolt & Cyclone. A total of 272 fully illustrated pages over 300 illus. SB.
