Wow, nice web app.  It's showing only 85 Uly's and 89 Uly XT's left in the US!  

"1277 Buells left in USA" as of this morning.
"40 Buells left in PA" - and only 1 CR in the state.

Fascinating

Interesting.  Even with blowout pricing, there are more 1125's available than any other model.  By a long shot.

Seems the HD dealer in Mentor, OH (suburb of Cleveland) is sitting on a half dozen CRs plus a bunch of other stock. Not a bad drive for a good deal (no idea on pricing).

What an awesome service. EVERY MFG should have this service available to the public.

Way to go, Harley/Buell. See? THAT is customer-focused service. Yeah, yeah... I know... "we need to get rid of these" was the mandate, but come on... tell me this wouldn't be an AWESOME service for every MFG?

Mancuso Crossroad (Houston, TX) has/had a Firebolt last week and several 1125s. Some of the 1125Rs had the "Side Fairing Kits" installed on them.

Shame the 1125CR isn't better suited for 2-up.

[steve.m]

perfectly suited for a day at the track though  

JTM, you been out much lately?

I see several dealers I called when looking to buy a CityX who were unwilling to move on price, which is why they still have Buells and I now have a Triumph Street Triple.

My brother lives nearby.  He tells me that they're not offering deals 'cause Buells are now 'collectors items'.  Not sure how long that'll last.

I've been out a little bit, rode the 636 a few time and sold it the day before christmas. Just working on Carburetors, got some bad fuel the last time my bother and I took the dirt bikes out.

[steve.m]

good on you for moving it, miss it yet?

mancuso still has the slash and burn pricing on buells.  any dealer who says they're a collector's item is full of shit, throw the HD subsidy in their face and see what they say about it.

Some of the trustworthy/knowledgeable folks on badweb who work at HD/Buell dealers say that the figures aren't to be relied on 100%. Apparently it shows as available bikes that have been delivered and sold in many instances. It's probably accurate for those dealers hanging on to bikes to supply the rush of collectors.

I just called and found a Ulie XT for ~$9k from the list and I have to say... I'm giving it real thought.

[steve.m]

chris, give mancuso a call, seriously.  the shipping and taxes would likely be worth the cost.  got mine at 6999

281-970-9700

[JTM]

Yes, I miss the 636.

Chris, I would call Mancuso if you really want one. My sales girl actually rides everyday and she rides bikes other than HDs.

[chornbe]

Thanks for the info.

Well I figured they didn't have trackers on the Buells and that the inventory listed is only semi-accurate.  Like was said earlier, it's a cool application, and it's too bad that the first manufacturer to provide a "live" inventory like this, is a manufacturer that is pretty much dead.

Ditto, on TTs and SSs. Except I don't have a compensatory Striple.

Last time I was there, their prices were higher than other dealers.  I made them a fair offer on a 1125R, which they did not accept.  I bought one the next day for $500 less than my offer at another dealer.
