[QUOTE="Rider 007, post: 159189, member: 17322"] Nephron, bear in mind that KHI includes earth moving equipment and a whole host of incredibly expensive products. Motorcycles are a very small part of their business. So, I'm not sure that the overall company condition represents their MX line sales. I can't speak for Okie (I believe he had a KX250 until not too long ago), but I don't believe he was being biased, just reporting observations. When you can find a slew of certain models nationwide and bargain-basement prices, and dealers are telling you that it's not good (and they have access to the info), my guess is that it isn't going well. It wasn't bias if someone told you that the XR600's weren't selling well a few years ago. It was a fact. You could get a leftover one for like $3699. Honda even tried going a year without making anymore because they were overstocked and it caused quite a stir because people thought they were discontinuing it permanently. It wasn't bias when you could walk into a Honda dealership in the late 70's and early 80's and find leftover MX models. They didn't become popular until DeCoster arrived and turned the CR model into one worth buying. These were just the real market conditions that existed at those times. When I worked at dealerships, if we were sold out of our allotment of a certain model and still had people requesting them, we would call other dealerships to see if they had any they would sell us. If it was a particularly hot model, sometimes we would pay retail and sell it for that just to make the sale and initiate the relationsip. Other times we were told "no way!". So again, I don't think Okie was exhibiting bias, but you'll have to ask him to be sure! Later:cool: [/QUOTE]
