New here, new to HD, questions
So I've been riding my whole life, never a Harley. Finally decided to jump on board. At first I was thinking the Iron883 but went against that because I've read they lacked power and I may regret it.
I'm now eyeing the 2014 street bob and have a specific look I'm going for with it. Already sizing up parts, prices, etc and I haven't even bought a bike yet.
I'm wondering what dealers are willing to do these days to sell a bike. $1000 below MSRP? what about setup and those other fees they throw in. Any tips on buying new I'd really appreciate.
Is there much difference between a 2010, 2011 and 2014? if not, I may start looking at used.

2014 you will get the 103 motor ... plenty of power.
You can also look at buying new ones already done up from a privet seller.
Hell I am thinking of selling mine with only 500 miles on it for another project. But again I am not going to sell it for stock price with all that is in it.
Not much difference between '10-12 Street Bob, '13-'14 is a little different (more black on the fork from the factory, relocated ignition, no tail lamp on top of the rear fender, 103") but same basic bike.

Your bike is similar to what I'm aiming for. Maybe only 10-12" apes though and can't tell if you have the Denim color. Only 500 miles and wanting to sell, makes me wonder why you don't love the bike !
So let me know a price, you never know!
Like I told the dealer, if I don't get a great price new then I'll get used and pay cash.

with what i'm reading, it all depends on what you want to do. are you going to do a project bike so it can sit and you can tell stories to your friends and amaze them with all the tech jargin, or are you gonna actually ride it and make it a work horse. How deep do you want to go into your pockets. Try a place in NJ called cycle exchange, they have a ton of nearly new bikes for great prices.. bought my '08 superglide with 5650 miles on it for 8,000 out the door. everyone has their own reason for buying a bike, decide what yours is for you.

Had a $40k 1950 chevy show truck that sat in the garage because I was afraid to drive it anywhere (thinking someone would ding it or purposely scratch it) and I got no use out of it. I won't do that again and just want something to enjoy and not worry about , yet wrench on to make it my own.

Love your bike!!
So for those pipes you have, I've seen them on a few bikes and itlooks awesome, how loud are they on a scale of say 1 being stock, 10 being straight pipes (deafening) ??
I don't want crazy loud but really like those pipes.
