Default Kosco Harley

What's the word on Kosco....are they going out? Stopped by today and it was depressing....they had more quads in the showroom than new bikes. And the used bikes were mostly overpriced crap with tons of mileage. What's the deal there?

I was there 2 days ago for their weekly bike nite with free beer and live music. They are doing just fine from what I see and not going anywhere soon.

Always a crowd for a party. They do know how to throw a party.
I hope their OK. Thats a real big place to keep afloat....
I bought my bike there cause they had what I wanted but I dont live up there so I havent been back.

As of today they are NOT closing. But who knows what their future will hold, or others for that fact.

There's not 1 dealer in the Tri-State area that is NOT hurting right now for business!

Default best price but everything else stinks

They have me the best price around on my 2010 SG, But the owner, service and parts are all morons. Couldn;t get a staight answer out of anyone. I took it elsewhere for first service and anything else I need done. The only 2 guys that are ok are Jason and John in the sales dept.

Kosco's death knell is calling. Won't take long. They won't make spring. Rt. 15 Powersports is gone. The patriarch of the family being a Senator won't help. They suck on service, sales, and quad sales [polaris]. It used to be "the sport spot". Now its "the sucker spot". Its a ghost town on any given day.

I'd be willing to make a bet they will still be here in the Spring.

I've been going to Kosco for years and don't think theyre going anywhere. Like most business in the area times are tough. I know this, when I bought my Rocker Bergen HD wanted to make enough off my trade in to take the entire dealership to Disney land. Kosco treated me MUCH better and now have my business for the foreseeable future.
