Ordering a New Harley

I am wondering what other peoples experiences have been.

Mainly I would like to know how long it takes on average to receive the bike once the order has been placed.

Thanks Rides safe!

It goes a lot faster if you get a colonoscopy and bring your own lube.

Have you asked your local dealer ?

There might even be a matching bike already available he could do a dealer transfer on.

Figure on 2-4 weeks, but ask the dealer to locate the color through a dealer trade and get it quicker

Right now, I'd think you could get a dealer to bring it to your house if you paid MSRP; it ain't the 90s anymore. RHPAW was joking and then again he wasn't; you'd be surprised how quick you can get the exact motorcycle you want if you're willing to be sexually assaulted on price and then give sloppy seconds in the F&I office. If there were a specific model/color Harley I wanted, I'd get on the internet and find it within the driving distance I was willing to travel and go make a deal for it there. You start adding people to the "deal" and the price of the "deal" goes up.

That’s what my dealer did. I told them the bike and color I wanted, and they located one at another dealer and did a dealer trade for it. It took a few days at most.

it took them longer to get the handlebars and accessories I’d ordered with the bike and get them installed than it took to get the bike.
