Default 2018 Anniversary Edition Models...

I put a deposit down on my dealers first (and probably only) 2018 Anniversary Street Glide Standard in Legion Blue/Vivid black, pictured below.

I understand these bikes are not ordered by the dealers but delivered as per allotment. I only know my bike will be delivered to me between October and January. So I wait with anticipation.

Reminds me of the mid 90's through the end of the century, when you didn't just walk into a dealer like today and ride out with what you want, you put your money down, waited and waited a little more. And in the meantime, you lived with that anticipation. It feels good again :-)

Lets see those anniversary bikes, post away.....

Congrats Looking at you sig, you buy and sell a brand new bike every year, wow. That seems like such a hassle and a money drain.

I like the ultra limited Anniversary model. However I was told they would be well over MSRP. The sales person I buy from told me they may not bring anymore upon trade in. In other words other then the tank badge it's like no other Ultra Limited. For that reason I declined. I do hope you enjoy yours. It is pretty.

my plan was to buy the denim anniversary street glide special, but this second bike is going to be my commute bike and my senses kicked in to just get a base street glide since I am going to run the miles up on it. Looks great, its a beautiful bike, I think this year will be more special then any of the other anniversary models because it truly is a very difficult to get small run with every dealer only getting one or two of them. I like the feeling of waiting for a bike, makes it special

Very nice, I love the color scheme. I have an 03 Anniversary fatboy, only 200 made with my paint scheme. I also have a 13 Anniversary CVO Road King.

Wanted the 18 Anniversary in a CVO Road Glide, but no such bike, no anniversary road glide either.

I usually trade every other year or so. Usually about 45K miles on the bike. They aren't worth much on trade once they get over 50K. Really not a hassle and its the best way to do it if you pyle the miles on a bike and still want some money out of it.

Nice and I like the tank badge. Only other anniversary color I really cared for was the 100th. Surprised HD did not do more to attract with colors or other gadgets this year.
