agree to disagree
Let's just all agree that:
a: Harleys are pieces of crap. Period. That includes Buell.
b: That's the way they will stay because they have a distinct and loyal customer base who don't want them to change.
It would be cool if Harley could build a competitive supersport bike, but, unless they throw billions at developing one, they will be forever playing catch-up. It wouldn't be profitable for them, and surpise!, Harley Davidson is a business whose primary goal is to make money. Nobody is forcing you to buy their crap, so don't. Keep blowing past them on your Japanese bikes which you know are infinitely better and cost less. Harley owners love their bikes and I admire that. Hey, ignorance is bliss.
