1. They didn't rob you, you willingly paid for it.
2. The clothing is Chinese not the bikes.
3. In the class of bikes Harley sells I don't think anyone is outselling them. Everyones sales are down however as a percentage Harley's is not down as much. This means even though sales are down they have gained market share.
Yep.....could've saved me $1000 getting a 2010. Hey, maybe the MOCO will send us who bought a 2009 a rebate check for $1000.
i just got my heritage a month ago. in all seriousness i am going by there tomorrow and ask what they can do for me. between us, i don't expect much, but who knows maybe they will give me an instore credit for some chrome or something. even if they give me a couple hundred dollar voucher their cost is much less and it eases my pain a little. i wouldn't be surprised if they helped a brutha out a little. i will let you know how it shakes out.
Did they give you a nice discount off MSRP when you bought it? If so that might soften the blow some. Nevertheless, I do feel for you and others in this situation.

Great attitude Jay too bad it wasn't you that paid $1000 too much.
Welll actually it was good natured humor.. Honestly am puzzled because usually the Heritage is the first they run out of off the show room floor have owned two and my 04 Trade in value was only a little less than what I actually paid for it .. I would still be riding my 04 Heritage Bonnie Blue not been for my wifes knee surgery and needed a Tourer for what we cary and our combined weight..

You raise a good point. "My" dealer sent me an email over the weekend offering $2K cash discount on remaining '09s. I'd be surprised if the discounts are as deep on the new '10s.

I am just trying to find out why a 2010 is less than a 2009? Of course there are more discounts on the 2009 models, that is not the point. All other models stayed the same or went up.
