The one with lines thru the price means it sold for less then the asking or wanted price. Buyers market today. Victory couldn't compete and they're gone. And alot of 2 and 3 yr old new bikes of every brand are still in the crate waiting to be sold. More supply then demand. No interest , doesn't matter what brand.,,
Yep, those that want bikes, generally already have them, and there just aren't that many new riders. When I was a kid, everyone rode bicycles, and many wanted to graduate to a Motorcycle. Now, most kids want a cellphone, and spend their days surfing the 'Net and/or texting. There just isn't the same demand for Motorcycles.

I have family and friends in the Motorcycle business. They all say the same thing.
Agree though I said it differentl, you point is one I left out.
