Default NOS 200? Bikes

I was in the local dealer recently and there were a couple of brand new bikes in the showroom -- if I remember correctly, one was a 2006 VRod, the other was a 2007 FLSTN. What's the deal with multi-year old brand new bikes? Are they perhaps passed around from one dealer to another until someone can sell them? I've wondered about this before, but just never taken the time to question anybody at the dealer about it.

Walk in a Honda or Yamaha dealer and you'll see it even more.Not unheard of in a HD dealer though.Must be an ugly bike.
