Author Message   07xb12ss Posted on Sunday, January 10, 2010 - 03:51 am:        can i get a graph of that? over the last few years? ive seen it before but cant find it - a friend of mine that works at the dealership is convinced that the 1125 is the reason Buell died and I am trying to convince him other wise   Froggy Posted on Sunday, January 10, 2010 - 01:14 pm:        http://investor.harley-davidson.com/shipments/ship ments.cfm?bmLocale=en_US   Jaimec Posted on Sunday, January 10, 2010 - 06:31 pm:        Be interesting to see the 2009 numbers...   Froggy Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 01:30 am:        HARLEY-DAVIDSON® Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2009 Sportster® 16,776 14,945 10,907 42,628 Custom 31,919 22,245 20,969 75,133 Touring 25,975 20,989 22,360 69,324 Totals 74,670 58,179 54,236 187,085 Domestic 52,710 35,194 36,524 124,428 International 21,960 22,985 17,712 62,657 Totals 74,670 58,179 54,236 187,085 BUELL® & MV AGUSTA® UNITS 3,126 3,774 1,853 8,753 Also to note, these numbers and the numbers at the link are bikes shipped to dealers, not sales.

It's just showing what Buell/Harley shipped to dealers.   Pso Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 01:29 pm:        I thought that the dealers had to purchase the bikes?   A10tankkill Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 02:04 pm:        I think they do, but that doesn't mean it has been sold to a customer.   Froggy Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 10:51 pm:        Yes, all that number means is the bikes were sold to dealers. Normally, that number isn't far off from the sales to customers, but with the economy down the toilet all bets are off. The number to look for (which I don't have), is new vehicle registrations, which would get you 99.9% of the bikes sold to customers.   A10tankkill Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 08:25 am:        I agree with you Froggy, it should be close, but while I was looking for an 1125R I know I saw a lot of '08's sitting at dealers during most of '09. Do you think you would have to go through state registration records to get the actual numbers. Or perhaps Buell/Harley has a real idea based on warranty registrations.   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 08:54 am:        I forget where the numbers come from or where to get them. I will try and look around.   Mmmi_grad Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 08:11 pm:        Clearly the Buell IS the real Sportster!   Jpl9sx Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 03:04 pm:        I thought it was interesting that the HD Sales 2004-08 link indicated that the Blast was in the lowest year 9.8% of all Buell sales. Over those five years the Blast averaged 14% of all Buells sold (delivered). Edit: fixed link (Message edited by froggy on January 16, 2010)   Froggy Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 03:24 pm:        The Blast was Buell's single most produced model, with over 20k built.
