I thought it was up. Just watching trademe starting to move, and getting some enquiries here too.

What happened to the old story of bikes selling well before summer, and shit sales over the winter?

You got the point

You didn't

interesting. perhaps these sales going into the colder months were a majority of dirtbikes?
Suzukis pervious biggest seller was the gn250 wasnt it?, however i dont see the gn125 being such a big seller.
So my money isnt on roadbike sales. I'd say the farmers and dirtlovers know the price is good going into winter.

of coarse suzuki is on top they are the best bike out there and it dosn't matter if it's dirt or road. IMO.

Or maybe it's because they are the cheapest of the Japanese manufacturers.

maybe it's not that they are cheap it maybe more the fact that they are not as over priced as some of the other manufacturers. :Pokey:

or they've got the best strategic marketing gurus

unlike Harley Davidson who posted a $219 million lost for the last quater of 09

[trailblazer]

shit how can a company sustain that sort of loss.

by living on its good will...and writing off buell. I wouldnt want to see harley go under. Ive never owned one but the new 48 is cool, except for the 8 ltr tank, thats a real off-puter. i do a 30km round trip to work, and id have to fill every 3 trips!.
