they already took 2K off the price which brought it down to 24889. That payment was through Harley Credit at 9.25 interest and that was the top tier rate. I am calling the 2 banks I deal with to see what I can get through them.

I noticed that this bike has forward controls I have never had a bike that was like that is there a major difference? If I don't like it what are the chances I could be able to move them back to the normal locations?? Just curious. I might like it and the feeling but like ot have options if I don't

Definitely call the other banks. If your credits is excellent I don't see why you can't get 6% or better. As for the forwards just about everyone here will tell you there more comfortable.I agree but some prefer mids which I don't think you would have a problem putting on if the mounts are there on the frame. Never really looked to see though.

Yeah, My credit rating is really good for being 25. I have no debt besides my student loans. I am calling them tomorrow. I hope I can come up with something. If not I am going to be PISSED...I'll downgrade and mod the bike to the SE spec which is what I was trying to avoid

Nice to have a CVO bike but if you are financing don't look at the math to hard. 25,000 financed over 5 years at 9.25 including tax you will pay 33,200 for the bike. You'll be upside down for a long time. Even at 6% over 5 years that's 30,700. Being 25 years old don't make the mistake so many of us have, getting in too much debt too soon in life. Credit is easy to get paying off not so easy. Useless advice from an old guy, lol.

nah its not useless advice. I will take it as advice. I look at it this way either buy a summer only car or a bike...they are basically the same thing. Only the Bike is more fun and you have the feeling of the open road and wind in your hair. We will see what happens.

I'm going to ask this...how would you afford this bike being 25K? I'm curious to see how much ppl would put down, length of loan..Thanks guys
