Buell Blowout Pricing

[steve.m]

If you can, you should keep the Nightie.  It is so different.  Plus chicks dig it.

Remember, you can have too few bikes, but never too many.

I've got the classic car for the ladies (if mine ever decides to leave me) and have a friend with $ to blow who's interested.  keep it local and with someone i know.  He's never ridden on the street though so i'm not sure if i'd be negligent in selling him the nightster.  just make him promise not to get on the stick to hard if it's wet or in corners and he should be fine...right?

I would keep it but i've got debt flying out my @ss like bats from a cave.  Selling the nightster will keep me debt neutral or possibly gain me a few bills.

Ok, I pick up mine later this week.   I told my dad about it, and he wanted one.  So I found him a red 1125cr at a dealer about an hour away.  They wanted $7400+ fees.  I talked them down (a bit of work with these guys) to 6695 OTD + PA sales tax (this was in MD, and they didn't do PA tax there for some reason.)

Basically what it took was this, I said:  "The 1125cr MSRP is 11,695.  Take the $5k Harley is giving you off, and You've got $6,695.  He will buy today if you sell for that plus tax only."


Mine I'll have to drive further, but got for 6795 total with tax included.  But I wanted a CR in black.   Had another dealer that wouldn't budge below $7100+fees because "It's the last one."


We took my dad's home today, and he is just as giddy as I am.  I wish I had mine now!

Awesome!!  If you have to have black, swing by a paint shop.  I'm willing to bet they'd spray the plastics for about 150 bucks.

I've come so close to buying a Buell at several times in the past.  If my job wasn't so iffy right now...

Buddy of mine was quoted 12 grand for a Ulysses Friday.  He bought a new 1200 Sportster from the same shop 2-3 years ago.  No sale, obviously.

My brother went to whatever shop is around Orlando today and was quoted $8999 for an XB12R.  No sale again.

Reminds me of one big reason I never bought a Buell.  HD dealers.

details of the deal:

bike: 6995
tax: 437
inventory tax 15
freight: 395
prep (non negotiable): 275  This actually really pissed me off because i just had to go out there today and have them tighten down the mirrors.  I refused to do it myself since i just paid out the @ss for it.

licensing: 96
doc fees 50

Total before warranty 8262

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  Rewind.  You got an XT bags and all for how much?  $8300 OTFD?  
Must, resist, temptation. Do not go to Ray Price.  Stay away from Ray Price.  But they have 2 in blue! Crap, stay away from Ray Price.

BTW my HD/Buell experience has been like yours.  The last sales guys ear I bent rode an XB12R on the street, and was building another to race.  So, very knowledgeable.

So, I had a dealer down to $5800 for an 1125R, but I passed as I just had a feeling it wasn't the right deal.

Well, I might be closing a deal for one of just a few produced 2010 CRs for....$5500 OTD

Will post back if this actually goes through

If you think about it - it's likely to be the most collectible long-term.

If those were 2008 R's you made a good move to pass on them. I still say thier value is closer to $4,000 as a track bike.

mancuso HD here in town cleared their entire stock of buells in 1 week.  Actually less when you consider the frenzy didn't start until they released prices.

So my question is...why the hell didn't they price these things a bit more competetively in the first place.  HD dealers never budge from MSRP but at least put the price where your product can compete against the imports.  

seeing a lot more firebolts around town now    If I weren't so tall there'd be one of those in the garage instead of (or maybe alongside) the uly.
