Rebel Engineering Paperback

Rebel Engineering: The Story of America's Most Unconventional Motorcycle Visionary is an independent, unauthorized account of one of the most innovative figures in modern motorcycling. From a small workshop in Wisconsin to global racetracks, Erik Buell's journey reshaped expectations of what American performance motorcycles could achieve. Blending engineering insight with narrative depth, this book traces the development of groundbreaking machines, the turbulent partnership with Harley-Davidson, the rise of Erik Buell Racing, and the enduring legacy of a brand built on defiance and precision. This is the story of innovation forged through adversity-of ideas that challenged convention, of machines that prioritized balance over brute force, and of a relentless pursuit of engineering purity. From the RW750 to the Firebolt, from the 1125R to the modern 1190 platform, Buell's influence continues to echo across the industry.
