	Erik Buell
		Erik Buell is the founder of the Buell Motorcycle Company.
		At Harley-Davidson, Buell worked on chassis design and with his road racing experience was able to put the big bikes to the test, riding the cruisers well beyond the limits on test tracks that any normal rider would be able to duplicate on the street.
		His motorcycle company’s meteoric rise from a single two-stroke race bike to a flourishing manufacturer in such a short period of time is one of the most remarkable stories in all of motorcycling.

		During the times we've ridden Buell motorcycles, we have been surprised by the number of people who weren't quite sure what a "Buell" is. Many motorcycle enthusiasts know that a Buell is a Harley-Davidson-powered sportbike, but there are more than a few who have no knowledge of the motorcycle brand.
		Buell said the machine work was so poor that the crankshaft pieces wouldn't even press together properly, explaining that the flywheels would spin around on the crank after a only light blow with a mallet.
		Buell had a lot of development into his chassis, so the next logical step was to find an engine to power it.

		Every Buell motorcycle excels and rewards its rider under real road riding conditions, allowing both bike and rider to fulfil their potential - this is where Buell differs from many other manufacturers whose unquestionably great products have a potential that can only be realised on a race track or unlimited Autobahn.
		And Buell's styling is unmatched - a study in simplicity with moulded parts that are dramatically sculptural in their design, beauty and finish combined with functional engineering features that look right because they were designed to do a job rather than please a styling committee.
		The Buell XB models feature an incredible 375mm ZTL inside-out front disc brake with a six piston caliper to ensure the optimum braking power and feel which helps reduce the unsprung weight and therefore improve the agility, handling and roadholding of the bike.
