Just left the local HD dealer this afternoon with helping a buddy buy an 08 Street Glide. Talking with the GM, he plays dumb and acts like he doesn't know and will not know until July when the dealer show hits. He says it because of production is slowing due to the market. He did mention that SEUC has lived its' life and that the moco is beating a dead horse with it now. He says it's tough to sell a SEUC now because there is so many of them and SEEGs that some people (like me) prefer.
No mention of any new changes, but he was just trying to sell a bike, so he being a sales professional, did not want to comment on the upcoming changes. So, I rode my 05 SEEG with 8500 miles to the restaurant and had a beer, steak, and another beer. Then I rode my beautiful SEEG home where it will stay for a very long time.
P.s. I put a totally unnecessary part on this weekend, the screamin eagle cone air filter, actually runs better, I think! Ok, it looks bad a$$!!
I wonder what is the ratio of cvo vs. moco stock bikes is? Yes the SEUC will be high number, but what about the dyna, fat boys, etc. No need to mention the springer, because the only model besides the springer cvo is the new crossbones.
OK, I'll stop venting, besides everyone only reads the first two lines anyway.
that's a ridiculous thing for any GM to even suggest. where did this guy come from, a Yamaha store?
UC's are like the Chevy Suburban of the HD lineup, without the 12mpg / 40gallon tank headaches @ $4+ / gallon.
IMO there are two bikes which are guaranteed to be around forever in the HD lineup. Sporty's & Ultra Classics.
I am however quite amused at the range of BS you hear on sales floors from dealer to dealer. Seems like they'll say anything to reinforce a potential customer's point of view sometimes.
anyway enough
