Pete makes a good point. Sales volume on bikes doesn't bring much, but the associated business in parts, accessories and mainly service is where the profit is. If a dealer can hold on to a few GOOD mechanics, life is good... Darrel A12 ************* On the other hand, the dealer who sold me both my Polaris Victory and my KLR, as well as a couple of other bikes in the past, sells for not much more than his cost and nobody can beat his deals. (He has a 2001 KLR on his floor for $4350.) As a result he is repeatedly the second-largest-selling Polaris ATV dealer in the country, and is consistently one of the busiest Kaw dealerships in the area. He moves huge volumes due to his prices and is doing well enough that Honda begged him to open an ATV franchise for them, which he just did. Pete the cheap Streak
