Corbin Needs Another M50 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

M5'er · 06-07-2006, 06:43 PM

I got an e-mail from Corbin the other day, and it is also listed on thier site that they need an M50 again. According to Vince (R&D) they only need one for about a day. This time they only need it for pics since the seats are already developed. However, they won't be selling them until they get photos done.

If anyone is near Hollister, CA, and interested, let them know. (Corbin is unable do photo's at the FL location.) He mentioned a seat of one's choice if you loan your bike.

I do realize the experience Merlot had with Corbin was not great, but figured I would post this anyway in case someone else in the area got an M50 in the meantime and would be willing to loan them a bike. If you are interested to hear what happened to Merlot, see the thread "Corbin Products". No need to rehash his experince in a new thread.

Hey, maybe if someone can loan them a bike to finish up the photos, Merlot will get the rest of his product??

They're being ridiculous...if they need a bike for photos that bad, tell them to take the seats to a local Suzuki dealer, who I'm sure for the publicity, would let them use a showroom bike for the photos. You know I really do want one of their seats, for the quality, but it rubs me the wrong way to deal with a company who has such terrible business practices. We all know basically what the other seats look like, just sell the dang things already! I'm back to considering a local florida company who makes their own, rather than wait on Corbin...the way they run their business makes me doubt the actual quality of the product!

I was unclear about which seats they need the bike for. They need the bike for pics of a Solo, Pillon, Rumble Seat and Stinger. They do already sell the Dual Tour, for those interested in that one.
