Tell me why
back in 2001 I bought my first harley, a used 2000 fxdwg with 1200 miles on it
for $18,900. In 07 after the wreck I bought a brand new custom colered Jan to Mar
RKC for $18,355 with 12 miles on it so here are my questions
1 - did harley prices drop
2 - in 2000 did Wide Glides cost more than road kings
3 - or did I just get the snot screwed out of me in 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------
People People people This was only put in here this morning so you could laugh with me
Pleas dont feel sorry for me. If I could do it all over again I don't think that I would do
any thing any diferent. This is the trouth.....kevin m

I'd have to go with #3, with a little #1 to top it off!
Back in 2001 production still wasn't caught up with demand though, so it was quite feasible to see a used bike selling for more than a new one at times.
In this day and age if you paid more for a used bike, hopefully you at least asked for some lube before you bent over.....

But don't feel bad. I overpaid for mine too. Won't happen again.

Supply and demand! In 98 to purchase a new FXD I had to pay full msrp plus let the dealer add a bunch of bling (parts and HIGH labor) which came to over two grand extra. If I didn't there were people lined up who would. In may of 08 I bought a new FLHT at 1,700 dollers under msrp.

#3
but, around that time HD's were harder to get, and a lot of people paid more than their bikes were worth.

Experience buyers tend to get better deals. I could have got my used 2006 SG for less if I pushed harder at the time. But I'm happy with the bike and I don't feel they ripped me off either.

the best way to look at it is. that was then you can't change the past. it's water under the bridge.we all have done thing's at one time or other that maybe we should have thought it out a little better.but if you was happy then dont sweat it.
