They can't sell anymore bikes because they can't build any more bikes. Once they are slapped together at a zillion a day and shipped from Thailand their marketing will step up.
I agree, not going is simply wrong. Especially Cycle World. Cycle World is the group that pushed for the 675 and Sprint to be on the top 10 list. If you don't want to sell, thats fine but at least show up and show off.
I think they all sell all they build. They sell them all to dealers. There are several 05 models still around on cycletrader.
