Default RE: Duracell Sales

Personally I think HD blew it with colors on the 105th bikes. I know my view isn't shared by all; however I think they could have turned the 105th into a hot item if, 1) the colors were better, and 2) they were truly a limited production.I bet the majority of dealers absolutely hate HD's decision on the colors since in many areas the bikes are very slow to move.Its almost humorous around here. Everytime I walk into a dealership I see more and more of them...its like they're mutliplying! Maybe they really are limited in production; however judging by the ratio of anniversary bikes to non-annys on my local dealers' floors, you'd have a hard time convincing me. Just my $0.02.

I think what you are noticing is that since HD has cut production by 15,000 bikes this quarter some dealers are starting to run a little low on regular models and they are pulling the extra 105ths fromthe warehouseinto the dealership to fill floor space. I really dont think it is a good sales move to fill the showroom with "Limited Edition" bikes. HD has not produced any 105th this year...they made them all in 2007. Who knows how many are still in the warehouse.
