HD is selling MV Agusta as well.  Doesn't sound like they're having fun.

I just picked my bike up at Yamaha on SW Freeway. (Mancuso Power Sports) There were three salesman standing together and I ask them about it and they claimed to know nothing.

A Harley dealership had just moved three new buells into their showroom to try to move.

They put in my fifth ignition (2nd recall ignition) and said the problem was probably the wires being jerked around due to all the ignitions being installed prior. Who knows? I worked out a deal that they would check it with me present every 2k miles until 10k miles is up...to see if there is degeneration of the wiring. That's all I know.

If the ignition goes out again I am going after that under the lemon laws.
