Business ProfileforBig St. Charles Harley-Davidson

I purchase a brand new KTM 65SX dirt bike on 5/30/24 from ******* Charles. I was told that I had to come in before end of month in order for them to honor the price they gave me. Once I arrived at the dealership I made my purchase and as I sat down to close out the deal and pay the money for the sale I was told that the motorbike I purchased had known issues and that I would likely see an issue with the cylinder very soon after ownership. The finance Manager told me this however I assumed he was just speaking of a an isolated incident he knew of since he did mention that his buddies kids had issues with the 2024 model KTMs and nobody else that he was aware of had the issues. So I left with the bike as planned. The very next day after we unloaded the bike we crank it up and notice an extreme amount of vibration, signaling a crank issue. We assumed it was normal as stated and proceeded to break-in the bike with 4 15min interval heat cycles. We slowly noticed that the engine would not rev well once in the mid-range of its power cycle. We shut the bike off and immediately contacted the dealership, Big St. Charles. They proceeded to tell me that they contacted KTM and there is a known issue and that I could drive the bike 5 hours back to them and let them tear into it and fix it. Or, I could trade the bike in for $3,000 and get a new one. These are the options they gave me. I respectfully asked to return the motorcycle for a refund OR swap it for a different model in which we knew to not have any known issues such as the 2024 GASGAS, even though there is a $400 trade difference with the GASGAS being the lesser model I was willing to do that simply to wash my hands of this experience. I have yet to hear back as to a fair resolution from the company.
