Harley Davidson engineer and privateer motorcycle racer Erik Buell struck out on his own building his own race machines for the AMA F1 motorcycle circuit. When this was discontinued he bought a batch of XR1000 engines from his former employers and started producing sportbikes and streetfighters. In 1993 Harley Davidson acquired a majority interest in the company, subsequently buying the rest of the company and distributing the Buell range through their dealership network.
