First post! But when all the Sports Classics have been sold, what then? Most people who want a monster have already got one, and nobody wants 999s.

One word. HyperMotard.

The good news is they are throwing in the 600 & 6000 mile service. ENDS SOON- buy now.

This is great news! Maybe they'll start opening some new dealers? As of now I must go 100 miles for a dealer.



I'm with some of the other posters, I want that hypermotard!

Hmm. So perhaps it wasn't snow back East that was delaying the arrival of my Sport1000. Two models that have been eagerly awaited for nearly two years(PS1k and the Sport1K). Both arrive in the dealerships in Jan. A record sales month? What a surprise!

I understand that some of their revenue is derived from kick backs from my chiropractor.

Mine feels as comfortable as an upholstered crucifix.

Record Sales here and huge loses every place else. I'm looking at adding another Duc to my stable. Probably be an ST3.
