How many hours away do you live from your dealer? 2006 and newer bikes...

My is 10 minutes from the house, close enough to rip on over on the Zuma. They've got a cushy couch we kick back on called 'The Couch of Knowledge'. Cool shop where you just go to hang out... like the old days... The only 'bad' thing is you can always find something you need to buy!

The dealer I bought my 610 from is 330 miles away. They are mainly a Victory dealer. Not much for Husky parts or bikes, less this year. They did give a good price and were helpfull when the speedometer died. Honda, Kawasaki dealer 2 minute away.

Bought my 08 610 from an individual (900 mile round trip), closest dealer is in Atlanta Ga. 4 1/2 hrs away. I called the BMW dealership in Birmingham to see if they were going to pick-up Husky and they said not no, but H#$% No.
I think its because they already carry KTM.

I voted "30-60 minutes" (Upstate Cycle, Greenville, SC) before I read the 'instructions', but I drove to Temecula, CA to pick up my "used" Husky (8 miles on it!) on a too good to pass up deal. It was just over 5000 miles round trip, but I got to ride in CA for two days before bringing it home, so it was worth every penny.

It takes about an hour to get to Bills MC Plus.

Well...OK... I guess I'll assume the role of "Mr. Obvious" and state my opinion that WAY too many Husky owners are WAY too far away from their dealer! WAKE UP BMW! Time for more dealers!

I'm somewhat new to Cafe Husky and so glad it's here. I live about 4 hours away from my closest dealer (Florida), which makes it very hard to drop in to see the new bikes, purchase parts, and of course develop a relationship with everyone at the dealership.

It will go a long way in my decision in purchasing a new bike. I''d like a Husky, but I have a KTM dealer just 1 1/2 hours away. I'm hoping Husqvarna is looking to get into my area soon.

I'd like to get a 2010 Husqvarna brochure and Parts Catalog (since I can't drop in a view them at the shop). Any ideas wre to best get them sent to me? I've had very little with my closest dealer.

Thanks,

Keith

One is closer to you, in fact you might think about stopping by the Atlanta store some time just to be in a good dealership

Thanks guys for the quick response and information. I've seen the catalogs on the Husqvarna site and while they're very useful and good to look at, I prefer one I can get my hands on to drool over when I'm wasting time in front of the TV. I'll contact a dealer to get the part number and order my own. I didn't know that was something I could do. Thanks again for the tip.

This site, and eveyone here seems great. I'm so glad I found it.

I'm in South Florida, so I don't get to Atlanta often, but the next time I'm there I'll check out the Husky dealer.

Thanks again!

Keith
