OK funny story - IMHO - that I want to share. Called and spoke to this sales guy (I'll leave his name off here) at Wild West today. Here is what he said.
He says "Yep, did some checking on that bike. Seems like it's not real popular around here". He goes on to say "what that means is they're not selling many and so you won't find many dealers that ordered them so you may have a hard time finding one." Then he said this "When you find one, you should be able to get a real good price on it, since they're not selling and nobody wants one."
He went on to say that he didn't think it was a bad bike, he just didn't think it was the best bike out there, so they weren't too popular.
I told him yes, it was a "niche-y" product, appealling to us "old-schoolers" with straight up ergos. He said yep, that's right.
Anyway, in the end, the fellow at Wild West was friendly and helpful, but I thought the way he "couched" his story was funny . . . .
