I got rather lucky with this bike. It was ordered in special for a customer just before the '16 models came out. When the bike arrived he could not take it. I don't know what the reason was but since the oil crunch hit tens of thousands have lost their jobs. It could be why. Either way It caught my eye when they put it out on the floor last fall. Every time since then I have spent some time looking at it when I at the dealers. Unfortunately I became involved in a legal battle at the end of Oct that put my life on hold. Lesson learned, never do a favour for family. It ended up costing more than many people make in a year gross. Back in January they dropped the price by $3,000 to try and move it. The economy is real bad and not a lot of people are spending money. When I received word Friday by phone that it was settled I called the owner of the dealer and told him to put a sold sign on it. After 6 months of waiting and several people looking at it I could finally buy it. I put a deposit on it over the phone and said I would drop by on Saturday to sign the papers. When I went up Saturday morning a guy came in the door just after me and walked directly over to where the bike was on the floor and started swearing. He had come to buy it and spotted the sold tag. I couldn't believe how close I came to not getting it. Sometimes I guess things are just meant to be.....
