Don't worry. That place will change hands any time now. It's had so many owners I can't keep up with them.

They have a very high employee turnover. Was there Sunday and had to lose several salesmen. Real annoying and aggressive. That is a problem. They are not selling bikes.

Yes, they were used bikes.
Three Honda 700 cc adventure bikes
Two BMW adventure bikes and the other I forgot.

Is this a normal HD practice? I have never seen it before.

I've seen that, they're trade-ins.

Almost never seen here at the three dealerships I have traded with.

One of them for sure will take anything on trade, but they wholesale them right away.

However my main dealer did have an Indian in the show room recently!
