     Ulykan |
There is a really nice black Uly on Ebay right now with a current bid of $4900. A dealer (Zylstra HD 630-584-8000 and ask for Jim Kopp) is selling it in St. Charles, Ill. The pictures make the bike look really sweet. Anyone interested in a low mileage (5040) 2007 Uly should look at this one. | ||

Based on my ONE dealing with Zylstra in Ill. I would not buy a crumby bottle of oil from them. Super expensive bikes, got the run around from them on trying to purchase a year old new bike (price up and then down then up). While getting jerked around by them over the phone for a bike price, I called Suburban Motors in Theinsville, WI. and got the same bike for $2000 less.........they probably have a ten thousand dollar reserve on that E-Bay Uly. | ||

I purchased my 08 xt from zylstra last november. They have plenty of Buells for sale but I did not see too much interest or knowledge from the sales staff as a whole. The salesman I worked with helped track down the black model I was looking for and they competed for price with Suburban motors. I purchased from zylstra as it is local and if i have an issue i don't want to drive 3 hrs. I traded in an 03 lightning and hang around badweb so I really am not going to be relying on them for anything but warranty issues. And that is the key, if you are going to do most maintenance and minor repairs, I don't think buying from them will be a problem. As a side note, I was back at the dealership picking up the bags for the sidecases, I heard a salesman tell a guy that a Firebolt has the new liquid cooled engine. I was waiting for the parts guy to return so didn't want to leave the counter but I would love to see all HD dealers have a buell specialist not just whichever salesman is not busy. | ||

Before I began negotiations with the FT one, I called Zylstra about that same bike, plus a number of others that they'd had on eBay. Here's the skinny... I shot them an offer on the aforementioned Uly and the guy I spoke with (the closest to a knowledgeable Buell guy on their staff) all but straight-out told me that 7k was as low as they were willing to go. That was about five weeks ago, but I doubt little has changed. There's a black 07 at their Elk River, MN dealership that I took a look at in person a year ago this April--they've had that one on eBay for at least as long and the highest I've seen it go was mid 6k, but that didn't meet their reserve. 'Tis a shame, as there was a time not too many years ago when the Elk River shop had some true-blue guys selling and working on the Buells; this is not the case anymore. FWIW, I was the last 'high-bidder' on that bike, but was below reserve at $5625. Good luck. | ||

Zylstra had a sentence at the bottom of their ad saying to call for the bottom line, Well I sent them a e-mail (didn't want to waste my dime) They e-mailed back to "Call" them, again I e-mailed them, again they said "Call". My last e-mail I asked if they were afraid to put down their bottom line on paper. Never heard back from them. I don't even bother with "Call for price" ads, if you cant be upfront with your price, Don't worry about me calling. | ||

Just talked with Devon at Big Sky in Montana and he has factory demo 08's coming in tomorrow. $7499.00 according to him and the ad in Cycle Trader. Put a deposit on the black one he has coming in, should know for sure tomorrow when the truck makes it through the snow storm up north. |
