I sent an e-mail to the guy who put up the page; he tells me that Buell is supposed to be having a press release the end of October. The mags have been claiming a price of only $4000 US, which I find pretty hard to believe, but the web page owner says he received info from some guy with "inside info" that it will more likely be about $5500 US MSRP. (for comparison the Savage has an MSRP around $4500 US)
I could see buying one if the price is good. I like the idea of more small, light bikes, and a sporty 500 thumper would be fun - if Buell can avoid the reliability problems they've had with their 1200 cc bikes.
