Curious if anyone knows what the actual cost or pricing scheme would be to hold a dealer franchise. We have a little hole in the wall here that is a licensed Suzuki dealer. They have never had a single new bike (at least that I have seen) and all their income seems to come from gear, maintenance + dyno work and used bikes. Just seems odd that they would bother going through the process of maintaining their status as an AD unless it is free (i.e. no recurring fees and the manufacturer makes their money floorplanning bikes).
