This book was produced to commemorate Buell Motor Company's 25th anniversary. Illustrated by hundreds of photographs from private collections and corporate archives, it covers Buell's history from inception to the present. Erik Buell is, of course, at the center of this inspiring story, but the company has thrived not just because of one energetic, visionary man, but because that man was able to inspire others around him to give 110 percent to their common objectives. This story is as much about the people of Buell as it is the motorcycles of Buell. Both, as you will learn, are remarkable.

About the Author
Court Canfield stumbled onto Buell in the late 1980s when you could hold an owners convention in a phone booth. After buying his first Buell, a 1990 RS-1200, Canfield has ridden Buells in 44 states and has become the "acknowledged unofficial Buell storyteller."
Dave Gess has been involved with Buell Motorcycles since 1983. A photographer by profession, Gess not only took publicity pictures but also documented the design and building of all the early Buells. His photographs and stories from the first 15 years of Buell provide an insider's view of the company.

This review is from: 25 Years of Buell (Hardcover)
The definitive history of the first 25 years of Buell. Well written and an easy, quick read. The authors use their contacts at Buell to give you an insiders look at the beginnings and history of this innovative American company and a look at it's talented and persistent founder and leader Erik
Buell. A great book for any motorcycle enthusiast and especially for a Buell owner, or for anyone interested in the history of a person turning a passion into a successful manufacturing company against all odds through hard work, smarts, and a commitment to excellence and the people who work for and with him.

This review is from: 25 Years of Buell (Hardcover)
Having been a Buell fan since 1995 and an owner since 1997, and having met both of the authors, this book brought back fine memories. The pictures were rememberances of factory visits early on. I still have my S2 Buell, currently with a sidecar attached and get to use it regularly in good weather.

This review is from: 25 Years of Buell (Hardcover)
After scowering the internet for Buell related books and continually coming away empty handed, I was thrilled to find this book. I thought it had a significant amount of interesting facts about the company and lots of great pictures. As a Buell rider and enthusiast I enjoyed learning about the history of this revolutionary motorcycle company. Money well spent.
