Take a look at the table with exhaust some of those look very different than what we see on the buells
Something tells me they will end up giving that stuff away if they don't price it reasonably. It's already a limited market.
I would like to see a place like AF1 or someone buy most of it as a bull deal so we have someone to go to for parts instead of it just being spread thin everywhere
Yeah, but I'd hate to see them get screwed on pricing and have to pass it on to us
I'm having a hard time figuring out this auction process. I doesn't seem to be very logical or effective to limit yourself to those that can physically go to the factory and buy what they want. I would've expected them to list the inventory online for sale or at least try to generate some interest from a company that would want to buy the parts and support the brand after it's finally gone. I just hope someone gets the parts that has an interest in keeping our bikes alive, I can't afford to buy every part that might go bad over time and keep it on the shelf in my garage until I might need it.
Went there and they were clearly trying to rip people off.Think of LAP like used car salesman.They were charging over market value for a lot of things some even used.Most of us pretty much know how much things are to counter with a f@ck u price.They realized it wasnt working so they had to give a little.Also its obvious they dont know bikes.Just a side note they scratched up so many good plastics by stuffing them in a box like toys..smh.Scratches all over. You can find some great stuff but its all unorganized.Always make a counter offer and know what your looking for and how much it cost or theyll try to rape u.Originally Posted by golfman1966
I dont think they realize there is only a small group that has any use for these parts.There wont be a lot of competition for them.Not to mention with people crashing these bikes that number is dwindling
Scratching up all that plastic was what i was thinking when i saw how they were stuffed in the bins or piled on each other without something between each piece.
I'll take a set of scratched plastics at a steep discount. White RX please.
Anybody check the stats for this site? Active members is 299, members is 971. Those numbers are probably close to representative of the number of 'enthusiasts' for EBR motorcycles, probably closer to the 299 figure. Most likely half of those people aren't 'enthusiasts', just on the forum for support or other helpful info. This probably leaves you with even less actual enthusiasts who want to buy a lot( or any) parts. Personally, I wouldn't even consider myself a Buell enthusiast, I bought the 1190 because it was the American Superbike, not because Erik Buell made it, even though I do like the guys work and his ideals. This leaves pretty much only the business man looking for an opportunity to buy a lot and make some money, basically what LAP does. Honestly I even considered going in and buying a lot of the parts, setting up the website and selling them, but the numbers aren't there. There is not even a decent opportunity for a return on investment in the short or mid term. You're looking at holding onto these parts for years waiting for people to crash their bikes and order parts to repair them. There just aren't enough bikes out there to make it worthwhile. I imagine this is the reason LAP spoke about the intent to try and find investors for EBR initially. Liquidation was never a great option because there is such a limited market, especially for the excess parts, which are only useful to owners.
