Tempting
I stopped by Toad Suck Harley in Conway, AR yesterday while out for a ride because I needed a new cap. I melted my other one when I put it on the rack on my Cushman scooter and it got on the muffler. Anyway, while there I was just looking around at new bikes. They had a 2017 CVO Limited in the paladium silver/phantom blue. Beautiful bike. ONLY $43,999. The sales manager, who I've known for several years, walked over and said "just sign your name once and it's yours." I told him I would have to sign at least twice because I'd have to sign my divorce papers too. I didn't ask him about the price but they are $3k higher than MSRP. I didn't look at the tag to see if there were any add ons.

I have 3 Harleys and 5 other brand motorcycles, and altogether they didn't cost that much. If I could find a fair condition FXRT under 6000, I'd get close. But then I'd sell the sportsters...

I just found a site that shows dealer invoice. The invoice on a 2017 CVO Limited is $32,799.

Even if I had the money, I don't see the value of a $44,000 bike.
My Dyna Super Glide rides on the same road, same weather, same speed and same direction as the CVO.
I'd step into a Ford dealer and get a stripped crew cab/4x4/F250/diesel for that.
But a divorce, now that is real value.

The profit HD makes is about 20% and as stated the dealer does not make very much...they make most of their money on parts and service.

Yeah, ONLY?!?!?! YIKES!!! That is CVO money and about the norm. I like doing my own thing to bikes so unless I fall into a pool of money no CVO for me.
I have a link to MSRP. Dealer is going to make money or they would close shop. Not justifying the price and markup but 10 - 15K is pretty big.
