The recession of 2008 had tragic consequences for some of the most iconic brands in motorsport.
The most well-known departure was perhaps Saab, the cult-adored automobile manufacturer.
The motorcycling world saw the loss of an equivalent icon, the Buell Motorcycle Company.
This Harley Davidson subsidiary was scrapped in 2009, left to clear its stock before permanently shutting its doors.
It was the end of Buell, but the beginning of a spiritual successor, the Ronin 47 Motorcycle.
The Ronin 47 Motorcycle is about as refined as one motorcycle can get.
While it is a Buell by bloodline, every inch of its build is freshly optimized.
The engine is carefully tuned to match the custom intake and muffler that encapsulate it.
The Ronin 47 Motorcycle looks more like a weapon than a bike.
The 47 qualifier recalls a traditional tale of few-against-all samurai that was recently made into a feature film.
Perhaps less, as we imagine Magpul will want to reserve one or two for their office.
