You probably need to be on a list somewhere. The demand for bikes is not slowing down. If anything it seems to be gaining and its quickly overcoming supply. We got allocations for white and orange bikes last week and it took us a day to get the list sorted out and everyone called. 50's, 65's and 85's are sold thru and a lot of the big bikes are very close to being sold thru. I'm hoping red bikes can make up some of the slack when that allocation get released. I'm also going to order way more Beta's this year as that brand is gaining steam also. Not sure what is going on with Asian brands but I can't imagine its much better. Used bike prices are still way up there as well. I'm in a part of the country where frankly none of this should be happening. Markets like Texas, Florida and CA are mostly likely far busier. KTM has promised more bikes but cannot give dates and quantities.

Figure out what people need,
Start your own company and work 24/7 until it is successful.
Get someone you trust to run it and then ride dirt bikes 4 days a week, and don’t worry if a bike or a part cost another couple bucks.
You’re welcome.
Sure, if you have 4 kids and your household income is 60k, youve probably received a couple months income free. Hopefully those people didnt spend it on financing a works edition honda 450.
I had a few KTM dealers tell me that their allotted number of bikes was cut by 30%. Does anyone know if there is any truth to that? The dealer I ultimately purchased from didn’t say that. But it seemed like the more shady dealers who were charging ridiculous prices were the ones saying it. So I didn’t know if it is true or not.
The dealer and I are basically $400 apart. They email me daily and ask what it 's going take to put me on that new 690. Fucking priceless.
I love motorcycles but I'm really stating to hate the process of buying a new one and I'm really starting to hate motorcycle dealerships.

The OEMs are pretty good at forecasting demand. They build to the orders being submitted by the dealers/territory managers.
Times have changed....dealers can't afford to just SWAG their yearly bike orders, because if they don't sell, they are sitting on $10k+ assets EACH.
Dealers are playing with razor thin product volumes because they can't afford to stock like they did in the 80s/90s/early 2000s.
