I dont think HD could possibly win the argument that a buell sportbike is a directly competing market against an HD cruiser. It's like saying my VW GTi competes against ford trucks on a direct level. Seriously. different f*cking cars. Also, I would love to see Ford motors hire Erik Buell to begin designing a Ford motorbike line ^.^ Yeah yeah don't flame me too much. I think Ford may not be a honda or toyota in terms of economy but they are a quality vehicle. period. all vehicles have their hiccups. (honda 2000-2002 civic automatic xmissions failing after... 30k miles?) Plus Ford is the only US automaker in financial position to start such a venture. It won't happen, but it sure would be interesting.
