you know what's dumb about ABS on a motorcycle? They only really work in a straightline direction but they do react faster and more steady. But I figured why relearn something and just stick with the way I've always ridden! :-)

i paid 14,9k for mine before trade. i spent 2 days haggling with them driving the price lower and driving my trade in price for my sporty higher. ended up getting 4300 for my 883 sporty. which made me reasonably happy conisdering i paid 4800 for it 5 years and 22k miles earlier.

out the door i financed around 11k after taxes and what not. i'd have to look at my paperwork when i get home for the exact numbers.

Shoot man, I traded in my 2007 Street Bob with a pumped up 103" engine build and 50,000 miles and got $10,000 for it.

Hopefully this thread will serve to educate future buyers on the fact that deals can be had and that Harley dealers will, in fact, negotiate.

For the record, I wound up paying 15.5k for an ABS-equipped red bike, which I am already absolutely in love with.

Default New 2013 Introduction........

The HD Dealer show is coming up in a day or so and the new 2013 bikes are being shown to the dealers here in Milwaukee The new Switchback has some pretty significant updates so I'm told. Wink Wink Nod Nod........

The 2012 models should definitely be priced right in about a week, but then again you might just want the latest from the Motor Co.

Ride Safe,
P
