just a few weeks ago at an HD dealer first one: this price is so low I'm not allowed to take trade ins. (oh ok you can keep it)

second one: called a guy about a price they had on a sticker of a sporster -- I'm not letting it go that cheap!!! (i didn't write the sticker you did)
BTW he called back yesterday, "hey you still want that bike?" Yeah it's a little too cold for her to ride now, you can keep it.

"You'll get bored with the SV"
"The SV can't wheelie" (like I could care even if it couldn't)
"There's no difference between this GSXR 1000 and the SV650S except for the colors"

I intentionally shopped around for shops that would not BS me. I went in to a number of dealers and pretended to be a new rider and asked the difference between an SV on their floor and various I-4 sportbikes (CBR's, GSXR's, etc) also on their floors. In a lot of cases, I got "there is no difference, the SV is just a different color"

Um, no.

"Blue is the fastest color" We all know that black is.

That Buell would always be there to back the bike up.

But no salesman should lie and they should know their product inside and out.

Yeah, we get those every day. I think we get more than our fair share here too!! I just want to say

'itll do 300km/h stock!' when talking about an RC51 on the showroom floor. Apparently he hadnt seen me pull in and park my RC51 about 5 minutes before that.

of course let's not forget that the average customer often goes to the salesman to get information about a model.
