Never bought a cycle from them but looked at their cycles available over the internet quite a bit. They also advertise heavily on ebay with many of their cycles. Big dealer it appears, unsure if they have a good reputation or not but I know they must have alot of inventory.

Have checked out a few of their bikes for sale thru Ebay and CycleTrader.

If you do business with them be sure to verify the address and zip code before traveling. When I did a Mapquest for Crystal Lake IL it came up with 2 different cities in IL. that are named Crystal Lake.

Went there once, they are a high volume, high pressure dealer. You will never get a straight answer from them.
They advertise low prices.
Somehow when they write up the deal the price doesn't look that good, lots of added fees.

Went with a friend yesterday who ended up with a 07 Heritage with 10k miles for about 14500 OTD. They will try to high pressure you, but they have TONS of inventory they need to sell. They have 2 warehouses and 40 storage lockers full.

Buddy of mine bought a bike from them a year ago. Be very careful and get everything in writing. The deal went OK but he was cautious and it paid off.
