Eric Buell Establishes Erik Buell
Racing
24th November 2009
Harley-Davidson, Inc. announced today
that following the company’s recent decision
to discontinue the Buell motorcycle product line,
Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of
Buell Motorcycle Company, will leave the company to
establish Erik Buell Racing, an independent motorcycle
race shop.
Erik Buell Racing will specialize in the supply of
race-use-only Buell motorcycle parts and race preparation
services for engines and motorcycles, and the building
and sale of Buell® 1125R-based race-use-only motorcycles
under license from Harley-Davidson, as well as providing
technical support to racers of Buell motorcycles.
“I’m looking forward to helping Buell
racers keep their bikes flying,” said Erik Buell.
“We’ve got some exciting race development
projects in the works and it will mean a lot to me
personally to see Buell racers competing for wins
and championships in the 2010 season and beyond.”
“I’m pleased that Harley-Davidson is
assisting Erik in establishing this business to continue
supporting the racing efforts he has had so much passion
for over the years,” said Buell President and
COO Jon Flickinger. “Harley-Davidson and the
Buell Motorcycle Company will always be proud of their
affiliation with Erik, and we wish him well in this
new endeavor to support Buell racers.”
Erik Buell Racing will be based in East Troy, Wisconsin
and will be staffed by Erik Buell and a veteran team
of personnel. For more information, after December
1, 2009, contact:
