Hello!
Been a long time since I have posted on here... had an RS-S back in 2012 that I got at central florida powersports and then sold it in north carolina when I moved.
Was off motorcycles for a few years as I got settled and moved then got back on a 2 wheeler but... even with all my years on 2 wheels after having owned a spider I just cant find a good solid reason not to be on a spyder.
To me a spider offers all the fun and none of the negatives so that brings me to my title.
I want to get a ryker but man it has been hell trying to get a dealer to sell me one!?
"what do you mean? dealers sell bikes?"
I have contacted 4 dealers to price and talk about a ryker 900ace and I kid you not I just cant get one to call me back? I started with 4 different dealers on wed:
Dealer 1: "I don't have any built... call me back in a few days and Ill see if I have one built"
Dealer 2: I have a trade they made one initial offer on trade and price on their bike. I said ok can we work on the numbers a little their response was "nope thats it" I asked so no wiggle room at all ? no rebates (there is a 750 rebate right now) they said nope that's it so ok bye bye
Dealer 3: "we have 6 900ace on the floor right now!" great heres what I got and my financing ready to go lets work a deal.. "ok awesome sir well call you back and get things going" they never called back all day wed. I call them thursday hey did you forget about me? "oh no I got you sir I am with a customer right now let me call you back in a few minutes" that was 11:45 thursday... and never heard back. I call Friday around 11:30 "oh yeah sorry I talked to manager and we are working up deal right now , give me a few and I will get back to you" ..... never heard back. Called saturday!!! hey man I never heard back, I am trying to buy a ryker, I have financing ready, I will be putting a little down you have 6 I am trying to buy one!!! "oh yeah I got you im just working the deal when are you wanting to purchase" 3 days ago! "ok cool let me finalize this Ill get back to ya" Never got back to me.
Dealer 4: Does not have any 900ace only rally edition or 600 said hes trying to locate one. He did call back said he couldn't get one from other dealers cause there not letting them go.
Do you guys have any suggestions for a dealer? I am in banner elk North Carolina..... trying to buy a ryker? This seems crazy to me with all my other purchases of bikes I find what I want and go looking and usually the dealer is calling back and working things to try and sell but with this recent experience its like I am trying to sell the dealer on selling me a bike hahaha its madness!
Oh wow my old pic is still showing belowmemories !
Alcoa Good Times in Alcoa, TN has them on the showroom floor. They have had some in stock since the Ryker first came out. Right now they have 2 or 3 900's. It's a couple of hours drive for you but if you really want one you can have it today via Good Times.
