    Buell is not the first company that comes to mind when thinking about dirt bikes or motocross. And yet, they were close to building a dirt bike like nobody has seen before. No legacy, no constrains, a simple, blank slate. But then, a few years in, they were stopped in their tracks.

    Interesting...I raced a Greeves Griffin back in 1967 through 1969, in Oregon and Washington.
    250 two stroke Villiers engine.
    Wheelie monster that excelled at Hare and Hounds and scrambles.
    When the new foam sock type air filters came out, I put one on the bike.
    Raced a scrambles and at the end...the foam sock was gone...ingested and spat out. The Griffin never even hiccupped!
    They started putting a spring in those type filters soon after.
    Hi Ho Greeves Griffin!

    Buell is taking orders for a model called the Baja 1190 Dune Racer. Their headquarters is about 45 minutes from my house, and the promotional photos were taken at Silver Lake state park, also about the same distance away, in the other direction. The early 2000' was manufacturer madness. Cool vid.

      I had to do a small change and re upload the video, the original had almost 50k views, that’s why the views are so low.
      Who knows, maybe we’ll do something about the Stark one day ...

    Didn't Buell just win the Ama hill climb a few years ago? And launched there dune racer dirt bike this year. Ever seen the air cleaner on a Harley Pan Am? Eric Buell had a racing addiction. What about Fuell electric motorcycles?
