Title: Can you imagine? Post by: Travman on November 09, 2009, 01:17:09 PM Can you imagine how bad the people who bought a new Buell this year at full price feel right now?

Post by: orangelion03 on November 09, 2009, 01:25:18 PM I was getting on my bike at my local market last week when a fellow stopped to compliment the ride. Said something about wanting either a Duc or a Buell. I told him that it was fire-sale time at Buell dealers right now and he should go take a look. But if he really wanted a Duc, the poor economy has resulted in a lot of newer used bikes on the market.

Others though, as I read on a Buell forum, are gladly snatching up the bikes that they could not previously afford. Talking to the salesperson at my Ducati dealership, who is business partners with an H-D dealer, said that H-D has no legal obligation to maintain Buell parts and probably won't.

They are going to take care of all these bikes. And I didn't just read that on a forum, or talk to a saleperson who knows a guy ;) Title: Re: Can you imagine?

And I didn't just read that on a forum, or talk to a saleperson who knows a guy ;) Not that I really care about Buell, :) but the sales person I talked to is also the owner/partner who first sold Buells before getting Ducati and is still partners with an H-D dealership. After discussing that sad Eric Buell video and discussing parts availability from H-D is when he said H-D probably won't honor the parts warranty. I don't know, is there some kind of shady loop hole that H-D knows about and will use if they take more losses? Oh well [coffee] Title: Re: Can you imagine?

Looks like that sales person is "in the loop", why question him? |
