Called my dealer and told him I wanted a deal on an Ultra Limited. While I was watching Wrath of Khan, he and a few salesmen ride onto my driveway on every color the 2016 Limiteds come in. I told him I wanted the purple so he left one salesman on the purple bike and told the others to put an egg in their shoe and beat it.
My salesman, (Uncle Harley according to my grandson) said, Mike, what do we have to do to get you to buy this bike? I told him I do my best thinking at Ruth Chris with a 40oz T-bone on my plate with all the trimmings. Sure enough he brings my wife and I there and after a few martinis and the steak dinner, we hammer out a deal: I get the bike with a stage 2, Road Zeppelin seat, backrest, a and a dealership T-shirt for $6000 off list price. Best of all, I have -10% financing. Yep, my note goes down every month.
The morning I was to pick it up, the limousine arrived at my home at 8:30am and had me at the dealership for 9am. The bike was ready to go with all the trimmings. My salesman shook my hand and slipped something into it at the same time. Ill be damned if it wasnt tickets for the wife and I to go on a 7 day Disney cruise! He laughed and said, didnt see that coming, did you? As I drove off, I was asking myself what Im going to ask you guys. Did I get a good deal?

An aggressive dealer would look at this deal a little differently than you. A $300 profit on the new bike, possibly some F/I income, and a good chance to sell the used bike for another $2000 (or more) profit, so he washes out at +$2300 on a 16 model that he'll be happy to take a $1000 profit for in another month. Plus, he now has 2 customers and moves out a 16 model, which will hurt his 17 allocation, and receives a hot selling 17 model to replace it. If the OP really shops around he may do even better if he can strike a deal with a dealer that does well selling used Harleys, as that dealer may put another $500-$1000 into the trade-in.
Btw, that sledgehammer/Hillary idea just might be the highest profitable way for a dealer to dump a 16 model, lol.

And to the OP, I was just being a dick earlier because you were.
That's kinda how the world works. If you're an *** to others, you get it back in return, even from people who normally aren't. Hopefully you'll wise up/grow up one day and realize that it's a lot happier place when you're not being that way.
That is all....

The OP asked for a Smoking Deal. In my opinion, those numbers make up a Smoking Deal. I didn't guarantee it would happen, but if the OP shops around, he may get close to those numbers.
An aggressive dealer would look at this deal a little differently than you. A $300 profit on the new bike, possibly some F/I income, and a good chance to sell the used bike for another $2000 (or more) profit, so he washes out at +$2300 on a 16 model that he'll be happy to take a $1000 profit for in another month.
