Thanks, Rem.
Back on topic.
Why exactly are we needing to find something wrong with the bike? I'm pretty friendly with my Tenere dealer, who is a huge volume seller. In fact, he's the #1 Suzuki dealer in the USA, and in the top 5 or 10 in both Yamaha and Kawasaki. The guy moves a lot of bikes. I don't have any inside information, but I do know 2013 was not a banner year for selling bikes. A couple of months were good, but overall there was a lot of slow time in the market this year. As was mentioned, I do believe that speaks to the overall health of the economy, and the confidence of the buyers. I agree, an expensive recreational purchase is easily put off, or sold off when times are not as robust.
I have my opinions on why the economy is in the shape it's in, but I'll keep those opinions to myself (at least here). But I do suspect any sluggishness of sales hitting the S10 is also hitting across the board on all bikes.
For the moment this ends my baseless speculation. Don't worry, this moment will pass.
