After all the vehement denials on BMW's part, they went and did it.

So I guess LETKO has to sell all their Husky's to Engles now?

Yea but at least now you can get parts. Sure is a lot more BMW dealership nation wide than Husky dealers. Thats good isnt it?? But yea I bet your parts just went up in price. Maybe BMW will just be an owner and try not to change anything

If you have been to Engle's, you know that they don't have any room to display more bikes.
As BMW is saying that Husky management and manufacturing will remain in place, I would imagine that the dealer network will remain in place for at least a few years. Also, the techs at the BMW dealerships don't know Huskies, and won't be able to be trained for a while.
Of course LetKo giving up all of their Husky's would be ... what ... 2 bikes? (I haven't been up there recently ...)

OHHHH You had to throw that out there didnt you!! Mike and I went to Letko not long ago and they had sold the Yellow & Blue one right before I showed up.
Everytime I see one I want to come home and sell my XR, KLX, and head down there. Its tough not to do.
Mike we better not make a detour on our way to Rustys this weekend. I may not get out of Letko with out it.
