We'll have to wait and see, but I don't imagine they plan to refund their dealers for more than the wholesale cost of each bike, whereas customers will be rightfully expecting full retail refunds.
Say Fully-Charged sold 50 P70, just Touring models stock with no upgrades or accessories, that's over $165k USD in refunds coming out of the shop's pocket; possibly all at once.

I'm more worried about how it will effect the shops than the brand - assuming R&M is refunding the cost of the bike to the shop, and the shop is refunding the customer for the retail sale - the shops are losing $4,500+ per bike in margin, and if you've sold more than a couple P70s that's going to hurt a lot!
