Are there minimum cycle orders from each of the manufacturers?|||there aren't minimum orders, but there are turn and earn standards.... to get the hot stuff, you gotta order the crappy stuff
you also have to accept all the crap they send out for special service tools, point of sale material, training standards, and minimum parts stocking standards. it all adds up big.
most jurisdictions require a bond to be put up before they'll issue a dealer license, you have manufacturer standards for the facility, staffing.... there is alot more to this than having a passion to want to sell bikes.
HD requires 2 mill in liquid cash and a net worth of 10mill before you will be considered for an interview.
Imports may be different, but you wanna deal with several of them all at once?
I'd guess you'll need the same dough as harley wants, and i'm basing this off car dealership experience, haven't been interested in a new bike franchise, only ever sold used bikes|||try 1,000,000. Don't feel like going into details.
