Why does H-D always try to sell me a new motorcycle? |
every time i go to the harley shop to buy parts for my old bike the try to get me to buy a new one , instead of being happy that someone still likes the old bikes and does what they can to keep their heritage on the road? Money in their pocket. Keep this in mind. There are alot of smaller American bike builders that are growing everyday. Harley has to keep pumping bikes out the door to stay ahead in the money game. Every bike on the road is free advertisement as well. How many times have you been asked, "hey, where did you buy your bike?" nuff said there and Harley knows that. So, should I take Harley to court since they don't pay me for advertising? Did anyone sign a document stating that you are not to receive any monetary allowances for owning a two wheeled billboard? Hmmm something to think about. Motorcycle manufacturers don't make any money by keeping the old bikes running. And it's not just Harley, it's all the manufacturers. Maybe they want your old bike. Or maybe they are just in the business of selling. My guess is that it is for the same reason as any business.To make money.You should go ahead and buy a new one to keep the old one company.You can never have too many. They're just doing what they have to to make money. Salesmen are on commission so the more they sell the more they make themselves. Selling a new Fatboy will earn them more commission than a new sissy bar!!!! not to sound like a broken record. the company wants to make money! and some insight into the game as it is played today, i know my local dealer and she told me that what they push customers to buy is on a point system x points for certain items. but harley's point system is so bad that someone with just a license to sell just shirts and so on could realisticly pust a establised dealer out of buisiness. so maybe that could shed some light on dealer behavior. Because they know your Harley is constantly breaking down so they figure you'll buy a new one with the hopes that they actually built some quality into the new ones. You'd hope that at around 20K they could do 1/2 as good a job as Honda. |
