Re:Harley Davidson and ATK Together ? 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
I am not sure I understand this post, so Harley plans on selling Hyosung's? Is this what you are saying? Guess I don't understand the America's only "off road" motorcycle manufacture, or what that is? I am wondering who America's only off-road manufacture is.
Not trying to be a smart a**, just trying to understand what you are saying.

ATK Builds high end enduros they are an american based company and are also importing/hyosung. You would have to read the article on pg 18 april edition motorcyclist magazine.If it's a lie they wrote it.

Ahh cool, thanks for the reply, do they have some kind of stock in Harley Davidson, is that why they are able to sell at Harley Davidson dealerships?

I had the same reaction the first time I went to the Harley/Honda dealer in Kingman. They sell Harley's AND Honda's in the same showroom ! ! Who woulda thunk it?

the hyosung aquilla 650 cruiser is a DREADFUL machine. nice looking bike which goes and handles well - when they´re working right.

i´ve got 6 clients who bought them, and the most common faults are (which most have suffered from, some more than others)...

- clutch switches failing (v.common)

- sidestand switch failing (v.common)

- regulator failing (v.common)

- alternator failing (not too common)

- welding on the handlebar risers failing (rare, but known about)

- digital clocks failing (common)

- welds on the petrol tank leaking (v.common)

- water pumps failing (fairly common)

this ain´t brand bashing. it doesn´t need to be because hyosung did that quite adequately for themselves. they sold like hotcakes when they came out, but now they´re shifting very few and mainly to people who have no idea of the model history.

not a good buy at all

Sounds like they need to find a better source for their electronics. Maybe their welders too....... BB

Kerstings HD here sells Yamaha and Kawi both. They have for years. You do not see that often though.
