Sorry have to bitch for a minute. I was at Atlanta HD getting an overpriced oil filter. I took a second to walk around the used bikes and some dumbass salesman was talking to a customer and was badmouthing the two EVO Dynas parked out there. He was saying how they are not good for anything but a quick ride. Of course all he wanted was the guy to buy a higher priced newer twin cam. I made a comment about how EVO's are good bikes and he shot right back at me. What a jackass. Look I drive a twin cam and they are great bikes but don't bad mouth some good HD history. And if I had my choice give me a good FXRS from the early 90's anyday.
Okay I am over it now

I agree with Faast Ed and Heritage632.
I bet you'd be bitching real loud if he came to your job and got in the middle of your work.

Gotta say, I kind of agree! It's their job to make the most money possible both for themselves AND for the company!!! We usually don't like salesmen when they do things like that but you have to respect the fact that it's their job. Sell the most expensive bike possible!!!....Period!
Folks need to go into these sales only AFTER having done their own homework on the product they're interested in purchasing. It's called "Buyer Beware." It's also common sense that you certainly can't expect a salesman to be completely honest with you.....really.
FWIW, to the OP......I don't know why you call him a jackass because he fired back at you only AFTER you so rudely interrupted his sale. I would have fired back too! I don't agree with the lies and fabrications but that's the nature of that business and most intelligent folks know that. Again, it's why you do your own homework! It's also certainly NOT your place nor mine to walk up in the middle of a possible sale, interrupt their conversation and give your opinion. JMHO

Hey who knows...maybe the sales guy knew there was something wrong with those two particular Dynas and he was recommending something better that would meet that customers needs. Hard to place judgement on the sales guy until we know the whole story.
