The first Buell motorcycle, the RW750, was built in 1983 purely for competing in the AMA Formula 1 motorcycle road racing championship. At that time, Erik Buell was a top contending privateer motorcycle racer. After completion of the first two RW750 racing machines, one of which was sold to another racing team, the Formula 1 series was cancelled. Buell then turned his focus towards racing-inspired, street-going machines using engines manufactured by Harley. In 1993, Harley-Davidson Incorporated joined in partnership with Buell Motor Company as a 49% stake holding minority partner and the company formed was renamed Buell Motorcycle Company. In 1998, Harley purchased majority control of Buell, and it has been a subsidiary since that time. Since then, Buell has used modified Harley-Davidson Sportster engines to power its motorcycles.
