Reality Hitting Dealers, at least in OK

[ACAD_Cowboy]

I’m hoping that once the peacock phase is over we should be in a better position pricing wise. Market adjustment works both ways despite what dealers seem to think.

Yeah. It's harder, I get it. lol.
It's funny, I grew up with a mix of both manual and auto cars and really LOVE manual in under-powered small cars (like MGs and Triumphs).
I always thought clutch shifting in motorcycles was amazing too until I installed my speedshifter. It has changed the game for me so much that I don't think I'll ever want to ride without it again.

on BMW bikes with the premium package (or standalone option) - it is a beautiful thing....

I live here in Oklahoma . I have spotted several gladiators driving around . Dealers have them out front for sale etc.. but I’m well aware they don’t compete with pricing .

What part of OK are you seeing several on the streets? So far, I only know of 1 other in the OKC metro. For whatever reason, they've been slow to hit the lots here.

This question comes up often on the forum, here is my copy and paste response. Some of you may have seen this before but its something I feel strongly about, so here it is:

Manual
1. more fun
2. nostalgic
3. more fun
4. more in tune with the vehicle
5. no one asks to borrow your truck / anti theft
6. more fun
7. keep the real driving experience alive before we are all being driven by autonomous vehicles
8. more fun
9. better control over ESS

Many posts about how the auto is better for mileage (except that is not true on the highway), towing, and in traffic. In traffic is not an issue as the clutch is second nature to me. I don't tow anything heavy, if I wanted mpgs I would not buy a jeep. There is one performance area that the manual exceeds the auto, admittedly by a very minimal amount and unimportant to most people, however the manual is better at going slow with an 84:1 4x4 low ratio. I don't remember but the auto is 70 something to 1.

Oh did I mention rowing your own is more fun!!!

You mean “rolling your own”?

Have over 100 on lots within 25 miles of me. Definitely not a "rare or limited" vehicle that warrants a mark up.
