Hahahahahaha. They don't have to race a lap to earn my business. I don't give a shit who they compete against. I'm still gonna support the Americans.

Or his TV, stereo, car, watch, etc, etc, etc.... I've had that argument many times with my soon to be ex-friends when I switched from Harley to Yamaha. I can't keep buying "American" (which Harley isn't btw) if they are going to be more expensive and give less reliability and performance. I understand that they are much better these days (mostly because they gave up on a lot of their inferior American suppliers) but...

Harley is American (regardless of where the parts come from), and I didn't mind paying a bit more for mine because the resale will preserve most of any extra paid.

And it's guys like you that have kept them in business regardless of what kind of shit bikes they've produced... Again I understand that their quality has improved and sure when they promise to buy back a bike for what you paid for it, you can't go wrong... Unfortunately, I don't buy a motorcycle as an investment, I want to ride. I want to get up in the morning and put the key in and KNOW that it's going to start. I want to have the best performance in that class WITHOUT having to spend another $5-10,000 on transmission/engine upgrades. I didn't want to wait two years for a bike that was designed 10 years ago using 50 year old technology. Plus pay 1 1/2 as much money... To each their own but to accuse me of being "un-American" because I won't support a company that sells crap (imho) just because they're "assembled" in this country is bullshit!

Not America and not concerned.

I'm a little late to the party here but...is this thread really about Buell racing their liter bike against Japan and Italy's 600cc bikes????

hahahahaha, that's the lamest thing I've ever heard. How pathetic is it that America still can't build a bike to truly compete with Japan in the 600cc and 1000cc categories on the street AND the track?

If Buell is so great why don't/can't they simply build a powerful enough 600cc motor to compete with???!??!?? Pathetic.

Well first off, Buell builds street bikes and THEN decides to race them for the publicity......Unlike the Japanese who build bikes with a priority on winning races as the first priority.

Also, if America wanted to, I'm sure it could build an inline 4, but of course it would be 10-15 years before it would have the quality of a Jap engine. Unless they just outsource it like they usually do

Damn, my brother! Exactly my point, they go on and on about how much "better" their bike is but when it's time to prove it....
