Hey all, I'm new to the site, but have been lurking for a while. I was wondering if any of you Oregon Buell folks could steer me towards a good dealership in Western Oregon or SW Washington? I love the bikes, and would like to try the new XB12stt. My current ride is a bmw f650, and before that a ktm 950 sm-this is pretty close in function to the XB12stt, but without the 7k valve adj and 10k h20 pump rebuilds, and master and slave clutch rebuilds . I bought the f650 as a "practical commuter", and it is...but too practical, if you know what I mean. If I get the xb12stt, it'll be my year-round commuter and back road burner. I rode a buddy's xb12cg and I loved the torque and handling. Any help is appreciated on any good dealers. Thanks, Mike |

Welcome! I live in Oregon but on the "dry" side. I've had reasonably good service from my local dealership and have not had to seek another one. They have gone well above in the past for me. They have even gone so far as to hiring and educating a tech for Buells. If you have problems with your local dealerships, give Shumate Motosports in Kennewick a try. Tell Gary that I recommended them to you. Dan Kenshol |

My vote is for Latus Motors technically in "Gladstone", otherwise known as "East Portland". They are right off the freeway, easy access, great guys. And they were the FIRST in the NW to have a BRAG chapter. They are serious about Buells, so you should get the type of service you are looking for. (Message edited by TerribleTim on April 07, 2007) |

Mike- Check out both Latus (as mentioned above) and Paradise H-D in Tigard. That's pretty much all we've got in Oregon right now. www.latus-harley-davidson.com www.paradiseh-d.com Both dealerships have varied up & down with Buell inventory (the bikes, minimal parts). Don't know anyone at Latus, but have heard that BadWeB member "roc" works at Paradise and is very knowledgable about our Buells. Maybe give him a shout? http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/boar d-profile.cgi?action=view_profile&profile=roc Mark Oregon PS - Check out our message thread in Storm Fronts: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 243322.html?1175796997 |
