I am back to my early 2022 stance that I actually caved on until I ran until really rotten dealers... I won't buy a new Harley until the surcharge is removed.

Here in N.E. Wis. I went to 4 different dealers,(on line), Not 1 of them had a new Streetglide. I didn't care because they couldn't sell me another new one if it were 1/2 off! I was just looking to see what the price on a new one is now vs my 15. So I wen to the Moco site to check msrp. Holy F***k ! $8000.00 more than what I paid for my 15 when new. I'm glad I have my 18 I bought used in 19. Paid less than my 15. I love used bikes.

Wow. Things sure change. When I bought my 1996 RK, I just happened to be @ the dealer when it was being unloaded. It was actually in a wood crate. Sort of a skeleton style. Funny thing. I didn't know it was my bike at the time. The guy running the fork lift screwed up and dropped it a couple feet from the ground. I didn't think a whole lot about it because I ordered a red bike and the bike in the crate was blue. A few days later, the dealer called and said my bike was ready to pick up. When I went to look @ it, we walk outside and there is a row of about 12 - 15 bikes. The dealer stops about 1/2 way and says, "what do you think"? I said about what ? (there wasn't a red one in the bunch) ! He said about your bike ? I told him I don't see a red bike in this line. You should have seen the look on HIS face. That's when he remembered,.... I always ordered red bikes. Unless the reds they had that year were ugly. I ended up with that blue bike cause it was already July and I sold my last one the previous October. There weren't any red ones left that year.

I can’t imagine most people have that disposable income they did a year or two ago and are buying up 20k+ bikes like they were. Every damn thing is up, hell one place had a dozen eggs on sale a few weeks ago for 11 bucks. Wtf.
