Dealerships don't like to gamble; they sell what they know they can sell, especially if they have limited showroom space. It's a pain in the ass for those of us that like bikes that aren't generally popular, but it's reality. I've only been in one dealership that had any real enthusiasm for promoting adventure bikes, and that was Romney Cycles in VA. The Yamaha shop that was nearest to me had only sold one Super Tenere between 2010 and when the shop closed last year, and if I recall, they ordered that bike for the customer; it wasn't on the showroom floor. That dealership's bikes were almost all cruisers, with a sprinkling of dirtbikes. The shop I currently go to is about 1/3 sportbikes and cruisers, and 2/3 UTVs and four wheelers, with a couple of Polaris Slingshots (that take up a ton of room).
I think if a lot of people were contacting dealerships and inquiring about the Super Tens, then more dealerships would stock a couple.
