These are more like 25 to $30,000.00 toys. Depending on one's circumstances, paying cash isn't always stupid. Some people leave their credit open for more important things like real estate and business ventures.
ETA: Before slamming a dealer for charging a premium for the 2018 models, take a look at their inventory and see how many unsold 2017s and 2016s they have.
Which ones would YOU want to move first?

If a $30k-$40k loan for a toy prevents you from taking out a loan for real estate or business ventures, you didn't have enough credit for either.
Nothing there to tempt me to move away from my '15.

Pulling money out of investment accounts returning 6%-7%-8% to pay cash for a toy, instead of borrowing at 2.5% is always stupid. Unless you're so wealthy that it doesn't matter.

I can write a check for a CVO. I don't hate. I don't like the 2018 Touring models. Sorry. Won't be buying one.

Done.
But, as always, different strokes.

If I had won the Powerball on Wednesday, I would have been at my dealer this weekend buying that sweet 2018 CVO Road Glide at whatever they were asking. But since I didn't, I can't see myself paying $40k+ for a bike. But it is sweet in that two-tone black (black earth and vivid black) with the orange accents.

Just my not so humble opinion but I don't think anyone really GAS whether or not any of us can pay cash for a bike, car or anything else or what we think of their financial strategies. I assume if someone is here looking for financial advice, they'll ask for it.
Some of you you really need to get over yourselves.
That's it.
