That’s a good analogy Munch.
I usually think of Buell as the Arby’s of the sportbike world…similar format to its competitors, but different product. Makes some good stuff that’s refreshing different, but try convincing most people to give it a try. Frequently tries different ways to tout its uniqueness, but to little overall success, with its rivals barely even acknowledging its presence in the market.
And as far as Arby’s “the menu can have any item, as long as it contains roast beef” ethos, up until a few years ago, I would have said the same about Buell and HD engines…
