Yes, now.

It's a poor time to sell though.

Definitely agree with the guys.Works exactly the same here in Spain. Sales really come alive as soon as the bike racing starts oddly enough.

From when they are trying to make room for the snowmobiles up till they are trying to get the new year's models onto the sales floor. You've got about a 4-5 month window to look and buy if your in a northern snow belt state or country.
