Passing through Terre Haute, Indiana and stopped by Wabash Valley HD-Buell...was politely informed that all the Buell's were in the Service Dept and when I asked to see them, was told they only have one Blast and have opted out of the Buell game... Apparently they only had the Blast, only sold 1 or 2 a month and there was no demand for any other Buell motorcycle. Nice selection of big twins and Sporties though. |

Maybe if they had anyone at the dealership that gave a rat's about the bikes, they would have sold more. A $10,000+ purchase requires an enthusiastic, knowledgeable salesperson. Too many dealerships that sold Buell's either forgot that or didn't care in the first place, and thus, more and more dealerships are giving up instead of looking internally for reasons why they can't sell them. |

I agree Darthane, It is the same here in Phoenix. If you can't afford the 200% markup, than don't bother shopping in this city, because it's all about profit here, not riding... |
