Buell Just Dropped a V-Twin, 200 HP Cafe Racer. Then It Said It Won't Build It

Buell Motorcycles isn't what it once was. The brand, made famous by Erik Buell and his relationship with Harley-Davidson, is a shadow of its former self. But the small team that has emerged from that nameplate continues on, and continues a legacy of performance motorcycles that are truly unique.

And talking about unique, Buell has a custom motorcycle in its warehouse, something it built a handful of months ago that quasi went under the radar, that the brand refuses to build, one that takes the insanity of the brand's 173-horsepower V-twin Super Cruiser, slaps some clip-ons onto it, and calls it a "cafe racer." I'm not sure the ton would be a good enough measurement for this motorcycle with that performance.
