I went to a dealer in Tri-Cities WA yesterday. The last time I was there was 6 months ago. They still had the same bikes on the floor. They even had a CR marked down to $9,999. Most of the bikes were last years, no 2009's. I've been considering a new XB12XT and since Buell sales are so slow I might get it for just a tad over $10,000. Are the Buells selling in your area?

Nope, not in my area.

Folsom, Rocklin, and Jackson HD are all notorious for sticking with MSRP even if it kills them. Folsom still has a new '05 XB12S they are trying to sell for $11K

What is wrong with that Boltrider? In some ways people like the older models better, oh, and good luck finding a 09 S.

Danbury HD seems to be selling at a good pace despite the economy and typical winter slowdown.

Here in SoCal, I latched onto my 08 XT for MSRP back in October. The folks at Quaid HD in Lomalinda were nice enough to add a few items in the mix instead of $ off (helmet and bags). From what I understand from the folks there, their allotment of Buells have actually dropped since apparently Buells sell better overseas than they do here. Go figure.

Schumate? Got my 08 12R last June from the Spokane shop. You may want to try Lonewolf HD/Buell in Couer D Alene ID. They have some 09's in as of right before Xmas, not sure what they have/had them marked at though

I'm planning to visit Shumate in Kennewick today. I'll make it a point to ask Kevin what's up with the rolling stock.

No free weenies so Edwardo's Taco Shack for lunch.

Ya, Shumate. They have a red XB12XT I want.

Why don't you try calling a couple of dealers on the wet side. Downtown Buell generally had better prices than the others and may be willing to deal.

Recently purchased some parts from Destination in Fife. While in the store I got the sense that they really wanted to sell bikes.

Local dealer won't move hardly at all from MSRP here.
