In 1995 you could buy an Electra Glide Standard for less than most Dynas?
It’s a fact. Check it out. I have this little pamphlet from HD describing all of their 1995 models.
The EGS could be had for $11995.
3 of the 4 Dynas offered that year cost between $12700 and $13650. The only Dyna that cost less than the EGS was the Super Glide at $10070.

 

Boy do I wish those were today's prices!!! Thanks for the memories!

 

I bought a brand new FLH in 1976 for $3,495.00

 

My one and only brand new bike was a 2000 883 Custom. Stage 1 and some chrome doo dads out the door was $6800.

 

comparatively speaking, the egs has gone down in price. That $11,995 in 1995 is equivalent to $23,192 now. msrp on the egs is $19,429. so it's a bargain

 

I got a discount on my 2020 EGS, so in 1995 dollars it would be around $9.5k. Back then, it was common to pay over sticker for a new Harley. I guess it is again now, too.

 

1995 was the heyday of the rush when everybody wanted to play fantasy biker, fast stripped down club style bikes & softails were all the rage. Fat bikes hadn't come into vogue yet. That was several years years down the road yet when the middle age crazies got over 55 and comfort started looking good.

 

I bought a new Electra Glide Sport - predecessor of the Road King - in May, 1992, for $10,800. 4 years and 29,000 miles later sold it for $13,500 as I recall. Different times to be sure. And, yes, I had to wait in line for 2-3 months to get the '92 FLHS. Only got it after that wait because the guy who had the deposit on it changed his mind, and the salesman called me and said "I've got a new Red one here available, do you want it?", and I got in there as fast as i could!

 

Those were the days. My first HD was a 79 Ironhead. I paid $3500 for it because it needed some work. Tinkered with it and got it running. Ride it for 3 years then sold it for the same price I paid for it.

 

I bought one in 95 for under list in the height of the Harley boom. The dealer couldn’t wait to get rid of it, “no chrome, it won’t sell”. Of course the dealer had no concept of what the public wanted. They were great bikes that were and are very popular.
