That's why it's famous! For going so overboard on the price gouging you can't feel it when you're raped by a telephone pole!

Betcha it's sold within the month ... if not already sold to someone who will pick it up in the next week. That kind of price makes the rest of us feel good about spending $20k on a RK or Heritage.

They seem to only be famous for high pricing.

A Connecticut RUB will have the $$$ to spend to be one of the boys, meanwhile they will snicker behind his back for being such a fool. " A fool and his money are soon parted"

Well it depends what is on it. You can easily spend $42,000 . But that would be totally finished. Doesn't sound to high to me. I am almost up to $30,000 with my Street Glide so far!!

It sure does, but Canadian MSRPs for SE Ultras aren't even that high now.

Mike's marks up the price on EVERY bike they sell. I can't figure out how they sell bikes unless they only getding-a-lings as customers. You could go anywhere else and buy ANY Harley for less. Bizarre.

Sounds people up there have lotsa cash on hand if this guy can mark up prices and still sell bikes and stay in business..... as a business teacher once told me ... charge whatever the market will bear.
