Overpriced and 10 years too late.

Looks way better than Ducati's interpretation of the hammerhead:

I've lost track, is Eric Buell part of this company now or is this random people that own the previous IP and name?

He's out - he's involved with Fuell, an e-bike company.

Erik Buell has no further involvement. This is effectively Bill Melvin, the liquidator guy that bought Erik Buell Racing in 2016-2017, and then also separately acquired the rights to "Buell" from Harley in... 2021?

It’s a bike from 2014-ish. Neat concept, but just no. Why throw good money at a pretty much dead product?

8 piston single caliper brake that transfers all the heat directly into the wheel. It doesn't work terribly well. but Eric insisted it did.

Heron Suzuki tried a carbon perimeter brake on their RGV500 in the 80s. The empty coffee cup had barely been put down before it disappeared.

Now, actually finding the picture of it I saw in the mags in the 80s..................
