What if you opened a dealership that was more of a parts/accessories store... say, at The Gap. You make your money and stay alive off of parts/accessories... gear and whatnot... then you sell bikes for very little profit... People buying bikes for cheap, will spend the money they saved on bling, go fasts, and ass covers... If you could get the land and everything right on 129, you could very well have a fucking gold mine...
Thats not a bad idea. You could be walking into debt tho assuming everyone will want just gear and not very many motorcycles. I see your point tho.

The reason this stealership can sell for so low tho is because they sell like 20+bikes a week. Theyre the largest Honda powersports dealer in the U.S. No doubt the prices of their used bikes play a large role too.
