Well that's part of your reasoning, but in his videos and interviews he never once mentioned the price. On the Buell site he has a video up explaining his reasons for ending the line while destroying a Blast. HIS reasoning is 100% about design and innovation which the Blast was the only bike in the lineup that lacked innovation. In his view it was not a sport bike which is what Buell is all about, therefore to him it was not a true Buell.

Back to the 250 and the crime of high pricing on modern day bikes. I for one don't think that some of the high end sport bikes should cost more then some cars.
