Not surprised.  Not sad nor happy.  It's free enterprise at work, not if you. build it they will come.  I see Buell is trying to enter the electric market with a motorcycle and some electric bikes.  I like their electric bike.

I'm not sure but the Stark Varg MX bike seems popular and the companies bottom line isn't all over the news. Competition bikes really very little to do with the ride to work or tour market.
