.....all you guys waiting for used 2017 Touring bikes.
Ray Price in Raleigh,NC has 5 ready to go........

 

I already have a used bike, but thanks.

 

At this point, the price is likely to still be almost the same as new, so why risk buying a used bike? A used bike's main appeal is significantly lower price and a used 2017 M8 is likely to not be very much less than new at this point in time.

 

I imagine it might be people who THOUGHT they wanted a bigger bike/Harley and found out it was more than the could handle, physically and financially.

 

If they are "demos" or rentals, no thanks. They have been wrung out by every M8 hopeful from day 1.

If they are owned by a private party that has had a change in circumstance, ....maybe.

 

why the negativity here ? i was not able to see the prices from the original post , maybe you went to the dealer web site?.
I wonder about demo bike that are not broken in per the Harley manual as well , but many post ride it like you stole it during break in.
If i guy can save a couple g on a 2017 why take the fun out of it by pointing out the bad , appreciate the original poster was trying to relay some decent info.

 

Yes, but they are possibly loaded with after marked goodies which bring little to no value upon resale. So even though the depreciation isn't as steep as it will be in a few months, one may get a great deal on an upgraded 17.

Like the others, though, if they are demo bikes, run away like the building is on fire.

 

I checked yesterday with my Indy. Used 17s are going through the auction (what few there are) at nearly MSRP.

 

Sometimes the bad needs to be pointed out!

 

I'd be curious to know if the bikes were demos. I wouldn't think rental bikes would be for sale just yet. The thing I wouldn't want to buy is a "buy back" bike. It's possible that some are out there and the customers signed confidentiality agreements.
