Title: It's all over now! Post by: mookieo2 on November 10, 2010, 05:14:42 AM I just saw a sign that the New Roc Harley/ Buell dealer is now Harley / Ducati. I guess their really trying to move that ugly cruiser. [thumbsdown]

Title: Re: It's all ove now! Post by: matt922 on November 10, 2010, 08:05:27 AM sounds like a potentially deadly dealership. The idea of bringing ducati in is so it won't cut into harley sales, but it will expand the dealership.
Title: Re: It's all over now! Post by: Goat_Herder on November 10, 2010, 08:52:55 AM Is it like when OCC brought in Ducati? How did that turn out anyway? ???
Title: Re: It's all over now! Post by: Howie on November 10, 2010, 09:06:12 AM Is it like when OCC brought in Ducati? How did that turn out anyway? ??? No longer a dealer. Probably one of the shortest lifespans for a Ducati dealer Title: Re: It's all over now! Post by: sbrguy on November 10, 2010, 09:16:08 AM well it should have been H-D/Mv dealer until harley sold mv, which i think in the long run will turn out to be a big mistake by harley.
if mv's f3 takes off and then they make a smaller cheaper brutale based on that, you have the makings of a potential new "ducati" (where ducati was 5-10 years ago) to compete with the present state that ducati has now become.

I guess they're really trying to move that ugly cruiser. [thumbsdown] Many of the Buell dealerships picked up other sportier brands to fill the gap. Triumph was a popular choice as well.

Post by: SacDuc on November 10, 2010, 03:11:04 PM So, um, will these HD/Ducati stores even sell motorcycles or will it be all clothing, leather jackets and espresso cups? sac Title: Re: It's all over now! Post by: ungeheuer on November 10, 2010, 03:15:43 PM Another Ducati dealer. Since when was having more choice a bad thing? Why care what else a new Duc Dealership sells as long as they offer a convenient additional location and some willing and competent service.

Not a bike in the place, other than the couple ancient ones on permanent display up near the ceiling. All clothing and trinkets. WTF?!? Title: Re: It's all over now!

Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on November 10, 2010, 10:49:15 PM there is a HD/Duc store in missoula. not a big deal really, the staff in a HD shop already knows how to sell high $ bikes, the service knows how to deal with high $ bikes and a customer base that is attracted to flashy bikes and may have little to no experience.

Either way I hated Ducati's being sold by Sr. I don't know that this had anything to do with Ducati taking anything away. The Ducatis were sold and serviced in a different facility and not sold under the name of "Orange County Choppers". As far as customer satisfaction goes I never heard anything good or bad. Due to CRS I don't remember what the official name was. Data retrieved ;D Hudson Valley Ducati Title: Re: It's all over now! Post by: ArguZ on November 11, 2010, 06:21:49 AM Totally fits company policy.
I wonder who wants that infernal Diavel. The Harley "enthusiast" cough cough who wants to be young again Or the Ducatista who gets a beer belly (me) and should get a Harley anyway. Potato Potata.. I think I want a Norton now...Or Benelli Title: Re: It's all over now! Post by: muskrat on November 11, 2010, 06:46:33 AM probably because of that abomination of a Monster they built I agree with that statement [thumbsup] My problem with OCC is how Senior treats and treated his kids....family is everything. |
