Bought two used bikes from Lakeville-X-1 and a XR-650L. They were very eager to sell me the X-1 but I had to practically beg the sales mgr to sell me the XR-650. Last year I went in to look at a XB12 and the sales mgr told me pointblank that he didnt want my X1 on trade-I went elsewhere to buy my new Buell. Service-two different techs seem to care and have had training-but I have had unresolved issues. parts-average parts dept. * I will say there are a few people in the dealership that are real eager about Buells (younger guys) * to be fair I dont think these issues can be placed at the feet of the head office-they probably arent aware of how this dealership operates-ie-dont blame "Buell" it is a local issue. | ||

Lakeville HD hasn't yet taken down their Buell signage-but they no longer sell-or SERVICE the bikes! "we sent back the tools" to Buell-what a bunch of wingnuts!! | ||

Their loss, they've been going down hill for some time. Used to be pretty good but that was a number of years ago. Wonder when they pulled the plug on Buell? | ||

They pulled the plug about two weeks ago. Everything went to Donahue HD. Spoke with lakeville yesterday and told them they made a big mistake. Claimed they didn't like the idea of a non HD engine in the 1125R and I told them what about the VRod and the ties with Porsche. BPR or Porsche, really does it make a huge difference. By the way I rode an 1125R and what a F'in bike. Road America is a great track for a demo ride. Glad Abe and Flickenger sent them for us. Planning on talking to FaribaultHD in the morning, seems they picked up Buell. | ||

FWIW, I have been very, very happy with Donahue. Tom B |
