JD Powers 2006 report on MC competetive info study
Seems Victory came out as the overall winner...
* w w w .jdpower . com /autos/ratings/motorcycles
Apparently, Buell, HD, and Yamaha suck :)-
Greg
PS. On the Victory brand... not measured by JD Powers, but may have
the worst resale of all brands; most money lost upon resale per
anecdotal evidence and considering they start $2-3K higher than HD's
low end.
PPS. Looks like Indian is making yet another comeback try. This time
HQ'd in Kings Mtn, NC with the first product to roll off the
production line later this year, initially concentrating only on the
Chief model with several variants... * w w w .indianmotorcycle . com /
IMO, Kings Mtn is the start of God's country, nestled in the foothills
of the Blueridge mtns, just west of Charlotte NC and acting as the
gateway to Asheville, where the real mtns start :)-

>From the JD Powers Press Release:
"BMW, Harley-Davidson and Victory perform well relative to the
dealership experience in terms of both sales and service."
"From a product standpoint, Victory has performed well"
"Honda and Suzuki perform particularly well in the quality factor."
"Brands performing well on the cost of ownership factor include Buell,
Kawasaki, Triumph and Victory."
Actually, it looks like Yamaha is the only one sucking, when compared
to the competition.

These ratings are based on owner surveys (less than 7000 of them) and we all
know how well informed the average HD owners are on MC related things. Most
HD posers wouldn't know if something sucked if it were stuck to their dick
and left a mark.
