Buell Questions and Answers

Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell would like to announce that we will continue to be an authorized Buell service provider and that we will be offering some of the best deals that you've ever seen on these great American sport bikes until our inventory is depleted. We've been proud to carry the Buell line and we still feel that Buell offers a truly quality product.

Below is a list of questions and answers that were posted to the Buell website after the announcement that Harley-Davidson Motor Company has decided to discontinue the line:

Why should I buy a new Buell when you are discontinuing production?
The innovative features and overall quality of Buell motorcycles provide an outstanding ownership experience. The Company may be discontinuing the production of Buell motorcycles, but they are extremely exciting motorcycles to ride and own.

Will Harley-Davidson be using any Buell designs or incorporating Buell technology into the H-D product line?
Buell has introduced many advancements in motorcycle design and technology over the years. Harley-Davidson will continue to benefit from that knowledge going forward and it’s possible that some of this technology will find its way into a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
