buell-1125-ronin-47-custom-0I was gutted when I heard of the closing down of Buell motorcycles back in 2009. I have always had a soft sport for Buell.

Ronin Motor Works, in conjunction with Magpul Industries Corp (a company famous for their firearms) created the Ronin Concept Motorcycle. Ultimately this was such a success that they purchased 47 of the last Buell 1125R’s and 1125CR’s to transform.

Taken from the Japanese word for a Samurai who lost his master, the name “Ronin” was chosen to signify Buell motorcycles that will continue on after the demise of the company.
