mc sales down
The fact that street bike sales are down is no suprise. My business is off at least 10%, maybe as much as 15%, from last year. I have a theory, however, that should make since but who knows. I figure bike sales were off this year because most models for 07 were carry-overs. There wasn't enough excitement to drive the market this year. Now, 08 is upon us and the 1098, Gsxr100r, and the Conni14 are all in showrooms. There are major changes from many manufacturers and several "new" motorcycles that will be released between now and spring. So, 08 should be better than expected and growth will resume at a normal of 8%-10% rate annually. But it's just a theory.
