They have sent me 4 now and I've sold 6. I just got my 3rd XB12R, so I have one on hand. Had to go to "alleged" Buell dealers for 3 of them. Bubba, I feel your pain. Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

Can I get a diet coke ?? | ||
| Buckinfubba |
comin right up if you don't mind pulling you car to the side we'll get your food to ya as soon as it arrives in our state. mitchelob colored plastics run in the range of near $650 then ya gotta pay service the labor to put it on. Damn there goes the profit, unless of course you want to pay that difference just because we didn't get sent one. but yes it may come to that I am working on something. | ||

Buckinfubba, As I've mentioned (ranted) in other threads, Eric must take this situation by the balls or what's the point in being a Buell dealer, if you can't get the products to sell? As a customer it was very frustrating to wait for my new 12 for over 5 weeks. Mine came from Daves who sells more Buells than anyone in the state of Iowa and Buell is sending bikes to Alaska before he gets one!! WHAT?? By the way we are only 5 hours away from East Troy. There are too many bikes out there to choose from to have to wait to even see a 12 regardless of color. I really wanted a 12 and thanks to Daves for his hard work and many phone calls I got mine just after getting back from the 20th. Eric, you can't get people to accept your product if you can't or won't get them to the guys who want to sell them!! Forget the other yahoos who haven't, will not or cannot sell them. | ||

So, I am at the HD dealer that sold me my xb9s. They have not had one on the floor in say 2 months. I ask them where the 12s are and the guys says, "well, we had one one the floor for say, three hours and we SOLD it for list price!" And then, I say, well that would tell you something wouldn't it. And he says, "well we just cant sell those Buells! If we could, we would stock them!" Hello, McFly, is anybody home in there! What an asshole!!!!!!!!! | ||

Bubba... Go one more state F&S Buell in Dayton Ohio has a black XB12S. Just don't take their black XB9s. I want it to sit there until there is about 2 feet of snow on the ground, after they have been sitting on it for nearly a year, and then walk in there and try and strike a deal on it | ||

Hmmmm... Bruce.. That wouldn't be a dealer anywhere near Northern VA would it? Later, | ||

Just got back from my local dealer here in the SouthEast and saw a BLACK XB12R. Looks good. They have a red one as well that looks damn good too. If I hadn't recently traded my XB9R for a red XB12S I'd be lookin' into buying some new plastic for the 'lil blubolt. | ||

Bozwells HD/Buell in Nashville has a RED 12R on the floor still in the plastic. 4, count 'em, 4 XB9S's on the floor as well. One is used (yellow). Haven't seen a black one yet (R model) in the Middle TN area. That is if you don't count my BLACK 9R. Jody S. | ||

Don't feel bad guys, I haven't seen a 12R in all of Kansas City, Red or Black and I have looked. I'm even supposedly on the list at Worth HD, but since they will probably want to jack the price up 2K, I'll probably wait. L8R, JM | ||

Bubba, drop that can of black spray paint!!!hehehe | ||

XB12's are just getting sold in Australia from this week on (as far as I know), there are some black ones, don't know the numbers, and Still haven't seen IT in the flesh. Getting tired of drooling over the wallpaper, taking an XB12S home next Tues, sooo looking forward to that!! I can see you have allocation probs over your way Bubba, over here I've waited with deposit down for over 9 weeks, and I can't blame the dealer, and there's no way I would buy any other bike either. fullstop. | ||

Hey JM,(Usapitbulls) It's just a short drive to Waterloo! I have a black 12R that is not sold. Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) 1-800-342-7539 ext 211 | ||
| Buckinfubba |
I will have 2 black 12R's by thursday. Driving up to Ohio to get them from 2 different places. Picking up a white 9r with orange lettering if anyone is interested. Brian Tilley hd/buell buckinfubba@hotmail.com | ||

Maybe that's why you guys aren't winning any Buell salesmanship awards, you sell the two you're shipped from the factory, then sell nine more you find at competing dealerships, and the factory sees those as sales for the other dealerships.  Still scratching my head from a comment in another thread that there is a Buell dealership in Madison WI. Sauk, yes, Janesville, yes, but Madison????? They've been hiding well since 1999 at least. | ||

Mike, Capital City HD maybe? | ||
| Buckinfubba |
nah those count towards us not them. Man I shoulda been a trucker tho with all the driving and transporting that I do. I wonder if hd would pay me for that. and take it out of the paychecks of the distribution folks. oh I must be dreaming...a job well done is no longer rewarded in this great land. I bet if I had a mental illness or was a drug addict I would get some preferencal treatment. again I am just venting...mostly with my tounge firmly planted in my cheek |
