It’s taken some time for the demise of Buell Motorcycles to sink in, but if there’s a final nail in the coffin it’s this: the Buell factory liquidation sale. A press release from the Michigan-based Liquid Asset Partners announced the sale, which begins January 28th at the East Troy, Wisconsin factory. Left out in the cold... Buell Motorcycles' East Troy factory is headed to liquidation.Open to the general public, everything’s up for grabs, including the company vans, trailers, handtools and manufacturing equipment. There's even a Triumph Speed Triple and KTM Super Duke that, we assume, the Buell boys used for benchmark comparisons during product development. Questions abounded since Harley-Davidson dumped the brand. Why not sell Buell, like H-D plans on doing to the recently-acquired MV Agusta? Is the recently formed Erik Buell Racing an attempt to keep the brand on life support until more favorable economic conditions warrant a return? Now it looks like Buell is one step closer to dead-as-a-doornail dead. Check out the liquidation details in the PR below, courtesy of PR Web. And stay tuned for further developments in the Buell saga, which just does not seem quite finished to us...
