CONFIRMED: Buell Baja DR To Arrive In 2023 – RM91k

Buell Motorcycle recently made a comeback with a new range of motorcycles one of which is includes the upcoming Baja DR dirt bike.

Buell Baja DR to roll out in 2023.
Buell claimed the Baja DR is the world’s fastest production off-road motorcycle.

However, the Baja DR is not your typical dirt bike, it’s more of a hill climber/dune racer than a true motocross machine.

Bull first revealed the Baja DR back in March along with the SuperTouring 1190 which is claimed to be the world’s fastest touring bike.

Powering the Bajaj DR is the firm’s 1190cc 72-degree V-Twin capable of pumping 175hp and 137Nm. According to Buell, the Baja DR will be the world fastest production off-road machine.

In a latest development, the American company has confirmed that the Baja DR is set to roll out in 2023. However, Buell hasn’t exactly provided a specific date for the launch.

Nevertheless, if you’re still interested for the Baja DR, head over to the company’s website to submit your order for the USD19,995 (RM91k) dirt bike.

Buell Announce Comeback With The 2021 Hammerhead 1190RX Sportsbike – 185HP, 137.8Nm

American motorcycle company Buell Motorcycle officially makes a comeback by unveiling the 2021 Hammerhead 1190RX.

The story of Buell to make a return came up earlier this year in February, as the company formally starts its production in America with ten performance models to be introduced by 2024.

It looks like Buell is finally holding on to its word by introducing the Hammerhead 1990X in the United States.

Nonetheless, the Hammerhead 1190X looks menacing, thanks to its ‘fish gills’ located on the side of the fairing, a curvature front (side-view), and an expose subframe.

Underneath the new motorcycle sits a 1190cc V-Twin, liquid-cooled engine, capable of punching out a 185hp @ 10,600rpm and 137.8Nm @ 8,200rpm.

While the Hammerhead might advertise as a 2021 motorcycle, the foundation is heavily based on the 2014 EBR 1190RX.

However, the company promised a batch of “brand-new” motorcycles, with the next in line rumoured to be a Sports Tourer version of 1190. Hopefully, that could be the model to put forth the Buell Motorcycle brand in the same pot as its fellow American competitors.

Buell Motorcycles To Return Without Erik Buell, 10 Models To Arrived By 2024

Out of the blue, the Michigan-based Buell Motorcycle plans a big comeback after Harley-Davidson ousted the company in 2009.

The American brand continued to exist after the exclusion under Erik Buell Racing (EBR) in November 2009.

However, their struggle continues, and EBR filed for bankruptcy before they were bought out by ‘Liquid Asset Partners’.

According to the latest reports, Liquid Asset Partners has taken ownership of Buell Motorcycles and plans to release an all-new line-up with the help of investor Bill Melvin.

“Buell is back, and we are excited to bring Buell back with this incredible assortment of superbikes and performance motorcycles.

“We start with the fastest American production motorcycles, hand-built in the USA, so that’s a nice start!

“We’re building out those platforms for more touring & adventure models, and then we’re expanding our displacements to be competitive with other global brands. The passionate Buell Nation can grow and thrive again,” expressed Melvin.

It might sound farfetched to assume that Buell is trying to go head to head with Harley-Davidson considering the Milwaukee counterpart has established itself as a vital American brand.

Nevertheless, with Harley’s recent corporate and product restructure after disastrous Q4 sales last year, the return of Buell Motorcycles seems well-timed.
