I have noticed an absence of new V-Rods lately at our 4 nearby Harley Dealerships. There have not been any except for today, there was one. I was an anniversary party for the dealership and the showroom was jammed with bikes, but only the one V-Rod.
I'm not one to read too much into anything but, is this because maybe they're tooling up that plant to produce a water cooled bagger?
My dealership is full of them, butas mentioned, sales aren't great. You have to want one of these things. They've been putting them outside under the awning and giving test rides; anything to move them I think.
they seem to be selling very well in my area . I see lots of young folks on them running around in packs , their riding gear matching the color of their bikes , they look a whole lot cooler than the ricer guys
