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

Re: Well, it happened....
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 ...)

Re: Well, it happened....
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.
