I read the article, and its a photoshop pic. Nothing new just a teaser. They are getting good publicity though and I wish them well.

I have to say, I'm not holding my breath. I believe they'll build bikes, but look at how they refer to them: Exotics, along the line of Bimota. Read: $$$$$! Unless EB lines up a volume production partner, we're not talking about sportbikes for the rest of us. You're talking about limited production, boutique bikes for the very well heeled. The spirit of Buell lives on, but I'm afraid we're (by and large) going to have to appreciate them from the distance. Remember the $36K XBRR? [sad]

^[up][up]and we think we have problems with warranty and dealers now these bikes will be rarer than ours and no real dealer network.

 

[lifeisafractal]

can someone post a scan of the article, I'd love to read it.

 

[Red93stang]

The dealer network sucks now, all it could do is improve from where it's at now. Some of the worst customer service I have ever had has been in a HD dealer.

 

[wolfo68]

my hd dealer looked up a part for me and still managed to give me the wrong part lol

 

[anrkizm95]

dealer service sucks network now is great theres dealers everywhere ebr has one location.unless one of the big 4 pick them up.

 

[Red93stang]

Network and service go hand in hand, if they all suck and all you can do is buy a bike but then ur service sucks then ur network is worthless. If u can buy it, send it somewhere, have it fixed right the first time ur way ahead of the network that has a bunch of sucky service dealers everywhere that sell u a bike but cant fix ****.

 

[anrkizm95]

ahh very true,but still only 1 ebr at this point.

 

[Red93stang]

True, 1 EBR, I am just thinking out loud. Mine has been in the shop for almost a month now for a stator issue and at this point I would have paid for shipping and sent it to EBR for repairs and probably would have got it back sooner.

 

[anrkizm95]

yea mine has the rocker box leaking and i would rather do it and pay for parts than take it to the dealer under warranty.

 

[Red93stang]

I second that anrkizm95, I am capable of doing the stator myself but it was 900 or so bucks for the stator.

I had the front brake line recall repair on my SS repaired a couple months back and found out this weekend from another dealer that the repair was done backwards ! They put a new bracket on backwards and used a tie strap to secure the line. Redneck engineering.

Adamec HD/Buell has had mine twice for a minimum of two weeks each time, burned a full tank both times and have not fixed anything. Warranty ran out and the problem still exists...will they keep their word and continue to chase issue under warranty or will I get a huge bill at the end and still have the CEL on all of the time? All that and our resale value below 5 grand when I paid 14999! Awesome.
