I bought my 2009 Heritage from them at 8.9%. I knew it was a s***** rate at the time, but as I got 0 down and 0 interest for six months and am going to pay it off completely before that I don't care. I love using other people's money.

When and IF Harley Davidson, has showrooms stockpiled with bikes, and there's little to no demand for them??? yeah... MAYBE.... but...I sincerly doubt that will happen any time soon. The first thing HD will do (did do in fact) is cut production. Less supply, demand will remain steady for a while.
Meanwhile Dealers are slow to move off MSRP, which tells me there's a long way to go before ZERO % financing.
Employee pricing? Zero % Financing are tools to get buyers purchasing stuff, they aren't showing any interest IN. Many cases the ZERO percent is a come on, and many buyers won't qualify for that rate.

That was how I got my bike around this time last winter. But it wasn't a MOCO sponsored 0% deal. It was a local financing deal through a local credit union that does much of the dealership's bike financing. It worked out well for me. The finance charge on the loan was considerably less than what I would have paid in interest charges on a four year loan at 6%.

1-1/2 years ago I got 4.99% 60 month thru MOCO but I did put 30% down. None of my local banks could touch that.

I got 1.05% last February on my 105th anniversary Heritage but it was only for 3 years but it clinched the deal for myself.

Very few people buy an automobile at MSRP, Harley would just raise MSRP and expect you to pay that price to get 0% financing. Will never happen.
