How much does a new harley cost?
 
I am interested in getting a Fatboy and the msrp is $16,344, now I know there is a destination charge of $330 and I have to pay tax 7%. What else do they nick you for? Is it common to get it less then MSRP?

You can count on atleast $2,000 to buy stuff to make it yours (I got $10K into mine...) but I also got a very unique bike....lol

Fees for dealer prep.&nbsp\\; Usually about $375.&nbsp\\; Along with the tax is the fee for titleing and license.&nbsp\\; Check with your state DMV for these costs.
If the bike is a 2008 and you risk waiting long enough, you might get it under MSRP when the 2009's fill up the showroom floor.&nbsp\\; Until then almost everyone I know pays MSRP.
I bought a 2006 in September for $1,000 under MSRP when the 2007's were on the floor.&nbsp\\; I sweated out someone buying it before the dealer went down.&nbsp\\; There were only 6 2006's left in the state.
If I had it to do over again, I would have bought a used garage queen with 900 miles on it for 2 or 3 thousand less than a new bike.&nbsp\\; Look around.&nbsp\\; They're everywhere unless you just have to have a new '08.

Usually dealer prep or whatever the particular dealer calls it runs around 700-900.&nbsp\\; If a dealer tries to MSRP you&nbsp\\; go to another one.&nbsp\\; That's bs.&nbsp\\; My wife&nbsp\\;got her&nbsp\\;08 Deluxe last month for 1700 under MSRP w/o even trying.&nbsp\\;

About 17-18K out the door depending on state taxes and such.
After that, as much as you want to spend on her.

Most of us do pipes/hi flow/&amp\\; tuner. If this appeals to you, fiqure at least an additional $1000.

To add to this, keep an eye on Ebay and other sites...you can cut that amount in half.

Best bet is to go and ask the dealer.

depending on where you live plays a big part due to demand. Not as easy to get a deal in SoCal as it would be in the midwest.
