Boy this thread has taken off since I was here on Friday !!

I hope they work it out somehow. I hate to see them go under to be honest.

If I was in the market for a new bike...at these prices I may would own an 1125R....assuming I could get parts and HD or someone would stand behind the warranty.

Retail for retail would I take a Buell over a Japanese liter bike (?)...no but again at the current closeout prices...I'd give it a shot.

HD will honor the warranty and is required to supply parts and service for at least the next 7 years.

A friend of mine bought 3 1125s and an xb12 today for 18k out the door, paid in full. he thinks he can hold them over the winter and sell them for a profit in the spring.

Good luck with that, considering the economy won't be any better than it is now. Hope he enjoys wasting time dealing with a bunch of craigslist tire-kickers and scam-artists.

where did he buy one fred. I am getting serious about pulling the trigger on one esp for 6k or under.

I may take the plunge and head down to TN and get one to ride it back. Also got a HD dealer right up the road here so that will be easy for service I cant do myself.

Thats also a side bussiness of his, he's a full time cop, lives in his parents 2nd house rent free, and trades in bikes on the side, usually he fools around with used bikes that dont run, fixes them up and resells them, but he said this was a really good deal.

I think hes gonna make out on the deal, hes not insuring them or registering them, just loaded them on the trailer and drove home, they are gonna sit in his garage for the winter under sheets and come out to play in the spring.

He picked them up somewhere in WV, made the deal online over the weekend and went down this morning. i got the call when he was loading them on the trailer to go home
