Why is it legal for manufacturers to require resellers to sell items at retail price?
For example Microsoft requires that stores sell their game consoles and games at ATV Dealer retail price. Also my local Yamaha ATV dealer will no longer bargain on prices and sells everything at retail. Why should this be legal? These companies should sell items to resellers and then the reseller should be able to decide how much to charge. Also why do manufacturers do this and how do they benefit from this practice?

Dear Mr. McCaslin

I wanted to take this opportunity to write about my recent experience with one of your dealerships. (Paradise Harley-Davidson, Tigard, OR) It is not often these days that you get the level of professionalism I experienced there with ANY business and I am motivated to share it in writing and let you know they are running a first class operation and a job well done, that any executive should be proud of! As a small business owner, I know how valuable an assett a place like Paradise H-D is to it's parent company.

My story starts with riding a very old '77xl Sportster I had bought used a few years back. I needed to prove to myself that buying a nicer bike would be worth the investment required to be on a newer bigger modern bike. That I would ride it enough to justify it. I have sniffed leather seats in H-D dealerships now for the past three years. But I could just never quite justify the price to do it.

In an effort to get the best deal I could, I know I would wait until this winter when demand was lower for bikes. I had seriously considered a new Heritage, but after loading it up with the things I wanted, I just could not justify the cost out the door for myself. On my way early to a business meeting I decided to look at what Paradise Harley-Davidson had to offer for bikes, somewhat of a local dealer where I live. A person greeted me by the name of Jeff Ruey - sales. Jeff LISTENED INTENTLY to what it was I was looking for exactly in a Harley-Davidson. Not only with a bike, but also in keeping the price in the range I was comfortable. He asked me to please return after completing my business meeting, and offered that he had two bikes in mind that he felt should be a good fit for me, he suggested I should ride them both before taking any direction on a specific model.

When I returned to the dealership I was again greeted, bike #1 was warmed and ready for my return. I was given detailed instruction on this model. Jeff offered to let me take the bike independently, while I am sure that works nicely for some customers, I asked Jeff if he would be kind enough to lead on another bike and I would follow him. This allowed me to focus intently more on the bike's characteristics rather than where I was going with the demo bike. There was not one hesitation for him to mount the second bike he had selected for my test run and meet my request. During that test run we pulled over to a safe place, and I then rode the second bike he selected for me to experience.

It was clear after riding the #2 bike (a fatboy that had just come out of service from the rental department)that I had discovered and experienced the bike of my dreams. Not the exact color I would have picked, in my case it picked me! It was already equipped to the last detail the way I indicated to Jeff I would have wanted on a new bike. What made it even more perfect is it matched close with what I was willing to spend to take the step of purchasing. Jeff had in fact listend to my every need! In the end, I got more bike then I had shopped for new, and well, it's still in everyway very much a new bike.

I had just a few areas that needed to be negotiated to make this bike my own. In these impending negotiations my needs were acknowledged right up front. Both by Jeff and a warm individual introduced to me as Ed Riddle (Finance and Business Manager). They validated that they understood why I wanted a little bit better deal on the additional equipment on the bike then they were asking for. This may seem small, but as the customer this was hugely impressive! They acknowledged and validated my needs, that is so rare at any business you refer to as a dealership! If you have not met Ed Riddle, I personally challenge you to meet him! His professionalism and warmth speaks volumes as to why he has his job!

I summoned my wife to meet me at the dealership before taking the big step and making my offer. Both gentlemen greeted her as if she was royalty on her arrival. We were introduced to every person in every department at that dealership that night! By the way, the negotiation was absent of pressure and was made painless! As I took pen to paper and agreed to purchase this Fat Boy at a fair price before the ink dried another professional female assistant whisked my wife into the accessory department. The serviceman was summoned and I was introduced to him, the bike was quickly swept into his service department for final checks of oil level, tire pressure, and cleaning before delivery.

While I did not mean to go into every detail here, I needed to paint you a more complete picture. This is more than just a happy thank you from a new owner that I love my 2005 Fatboy I just bought... But it is about the experience I had buying at Paradise H-D. It was really as incredible as the bike itself, and frankly, maybe even more so!

I have no real words that can honestly fully honor and characterize this dealership in the way that it deserves, but let me try; Vastly friendly each and every person in every department, here to serve you, you are our family, you are valuable to us, meet our team of specialists, we want you to know everyone of us on a first name basis, we will support you in any way we can, our environment is like your second home, if there is ever a problem we will listen and make it fair, let us introduce you to our other customers we know by first name that we know that are here right now, and most important, they demonstrated we treat you like you are the only customer we ever had walk in!

Mr. McCaslin, if you have not been to this dealership yourself, I urge you to take a look at it. They are a team of professionals doing it right to the finest detail! As a businessman myself I can tell you they are a model that others should be follwing. Maybe they do not have the highest sales in their region, but if you look deeper then that they have all the right ingredients and personal assets that should never be overlooked by a corporate company. They deserve to be acknowledged for their work here.

Think of me as a mystery shopper; I urge you not to make the mistake that I am easy to please and simply enamored with the bike and you got a letter. Let me be the first to tell you I am not easily pleased. My definition of professionalism is very high. Coming from a public service business background I am critical and scrutinizing. I have visited many other H-D dealerships and sadly not all of it has been terrificly pleasant. Honestly it took a place like Paradise H-D to make me take this big step in the first place. Had this been any other H-D dealership that I've experienced throughout the Northwest, I can tell you for certain I would not have inked a bike that night and would have continued to just sniff leather seats and kept putting the purchase off! It was the staff that made me feel comfortable enough to make the financial commitment I did!

To this end, my only challenge here is to make it clear to you that Paradise H-D has got it right. And they deserve recognition of getting it right! That they do make a difference for Milwaukee, and for all the customers in Oregon they are serving on such a platinum professional level! I again respectfully challenge you to go hang out and drink a cup of their coffee at the dealership and see first hand why Paradise Harley-Davidson & Buell is a cut above their colleagues in the Northwest!


Savage 21

The original ready-to-run (RTR), and now discontinued, Savage 21 served as the basis for the vehicles that came after. It featured a unique boxed chassis with parallel aluminum panels (known as Twin Vertical Plates, TVP) surrounding the transmission and drive axles, two-speed transmission, heavy-duty slipper clutch, eight oil-filled coilover shock absorbers, four-wheel-drive, HPI .21ci (3.4cc) pull-start engine with rear exhaust and an HPI 27 MHz three-channel pistol grip radio. A “reverse module,” sold separately, mounts inside the transmission where it replaces an idler gear assembly. It utilizes the factory-installed radio’s non-proportional third channel and an additional servo to add the convenience and fun of reverse when the model is first brought to a complete stop. The savage is pretty much most durable truck for heavy bashing on the market.

Savage 21

Savage SS

Shortly after the Savage 21 was released, the Savage SS (Super Sport, meaning kit version) was released. It was an unassembled version of the Savage, based on the Savage 21, but came with some pre-included option parts such as an aluminum tuned pipe and an upgraded S-25 engine. The S-25 engine later became standard in the Savage 25 RTR. Unlike the RTR versions of the Savage, the SS version was supplied without radio gear based on the assumption that drivers already had advanced radio systems perfect for the Savage SS.

Savage SS

Savage 25

The Savage 21 was replaced by the updated Savage 25. This version added both a larger HPI .25ci (4.1cc) engine, the S-25, for additional power and torque as well as HPI’s unique “Roto-Start” electric starter system. The Roto-Start kept the weight-saving advantages of the pull start with the extra added convenience of electric starting via an external electric starter. This starter, standard on most new HPI RTR models, incorporates a gear-driven one-way bearing mounted on the engine in lieu of the pull starter. The external starter is a motor-driven gearbox which spins a hexagonal steel shaft and is powered by a standard 7.2v nickel cadmium battery pack. A pinned ball joint at the end of the shaft mates with a socket on the rear of the engine-mounted one-way bearing assembly. The system has proven to be a popular one, with third-party engine manufacturers such as O.S. Engines and Team Orion designing their replacement engines to accept the assembly. An limited edition version of the Savage 25 added a three-speed transmission ATV Dealer along with updated wheels and tires. These parts can easily be retrofitted to previous versions.

Savage 25

Savage ATV

A mechanically identical (save for springs) variation of the Savage 25 replaces that model’s Lexan pickup truck body with that of a Kawasaki KFX700 all-terrain vehicle with articulated rider figure designed to move with the model’s steering motions. This model sold poorly, probably due to the effect of the expensive body on overall price and that it was still a Savage 25 when the Savage X was in production.

Savage ATV

Savage 4.6 SS

When the Savage 25 was released, the Savage 4.6 SS kit was updated to include the more powerful engine, improved differentials and other upgrades. A ready-to-run version, the Savage 25 Limited Edition, added colored shock absorber springs, a 3-speed transmission, and a commemorative bodyshell to differentiate it from the kit version.

Savage 4.6 SS

E-Savage

An electric version, dubbed E-Savage, is a 1/10th scale version similar in design to the original. It is powered by two HPI “GT550″ 14.4v electric motors and competes in the market defined by models such as the Traxxas E-Maxx and Kyosho Twin Force. It shares no parts at all with the full size Savage because it is simply a rebadged Hot Bodies E-Zilla.

There is also an E-Savage Sport. The only difference between the E-Savage and the E-Savage Sport is that the Sport does not include the battery packs and charger.

E-Savage

Savage X

The next ready-to-run version was the Savage X. It had a new Force Engine-built 25 motor. The Savage X has addressed the criticisms of the original twin chassis design, which were poor radio box access and difficult access to the differentials. The enlarged radio box is now easier to open and the differentials can now be removed from the new “split bulkhead” design by removing only 6 screws. The new chassis plates lower the motor and transmission slightly to improve CG, and it now includes a standard composite roll bar and detachable roll hoop to protect the engine.

Savage X

Savage X SS

A variation on the Savage X, the Savage X SS, has a .28ci (4.6cc) engine that has 10% more displacement than the S-25 Model. The Savage X SS also features a hardened steel spur gear, chromed dog bones and 6 gear spider diffs for enhanced drivetrain durability to cope with the extra power of the .28 engine. With this engine the SS version will easily pull wheel stands and an optional wheelie bar is available for the Savage to prevent it from flipping over backwards under hard acceleration.

The Savage X SS is now available with the K5.9 engine from the Savage XL.

Savage X SS

Savage X 4.6

At the end of summer 2007, HPI released the Savage X 4.6 RTR. This model features the Force Engine-made F4.6 motor. The new F4.6 motor retains the reliability of HPI’s motors while adding more power, though it is not as powerful as the K4.6. The driveline has been upgraded with new alloy differential cases, reversion to the more reliable 21/25-style slipper clutch, and a dual fiberglass brake disc kit. The clutchbell is now a 17 tooth unit.

Savage X 4.6

Savage XL

Released in april 2008. This Savage includes a new K5.9 (.36) motor with aluminum tuned pipe and a stretched chassis. Several changes have been made to improve on the truck, including stronger diff gears, steel spur gear, uprated driveshafts, thicker chassis, metal geared steering servo, aluminum clutch shoes, 3-speed gearbox as stock, and much more. New wheels and tires and a new body complete the truck, which is RTR and comes with a rechargeable receiver pack and charger.

Savage XL

Savage Flux HP

In 2009 HPI released the first electric variant of the Savage monster truck, the Savage Flux HP. The Savage Flux HP offers an easy plug-and-go alternative to the Nitro versions of the Savage. The addition of two matching battery packs is all that is needed to get the Savage Flux HP up and running and there is no break-in procedure required, unlike the nitro-powered Savages.

The Savage Flux HP is capable of speeds up to 62 mph with the standard brushless motor.

Savage Flux HP

Savage 5T

The Savage 5T is the largest out of its series. It does not have many changes comparing to the Savage XL. The 5T has an extended chassis, which makes it 930mm long. It includes the same engine as on the Savage XL (K5.9).
