RE: $3000 over MSRP?
When I got my '07 Vivid Black Superglide I paid MSRP, $12,400 in Sherman, TX about 30 min from home. Thought I would give HD of Dallas, just up on the hwy, a chance and they wanted $13,995 [:-] for an '06. Too many people with money to burn around here.

RE: $3000 over MSRP?
I bought my Road King used from Mikes. I feel I got a great deal, and good price on my trade also. I had to negotiate and it wasn't hard. As someone else said those list prices are for impulse buyers and those with damaged credit. There was a lot of negotiations going on while I was there and several new bikes were sold, I'm sure they were discounted. Mikes treated me very will and I will definitely give them a shot when I'm ready to buy new.

I payed 3000 over msp at mikes,but that was when you had to wait on the list for 3 years to get a softail. Got the bike the next day. Would not buy from him again unless the same situation applied. But his service dept. was the best. Good techs.

There walking into the dealers everyday and paying whatever price they have on bikes/assessories/parts/clothes cause its coveniant. There to damn lazy to shop around they want it right away. Thats the type of HD rider you are getting now days. Probably the same ones that pull into a gas pump and pay $$$ but if they would of went down the road a ways or around the corner they could of got it for less. It's conveniant less they have to do. I think the days are numbered for HD selling there bikes at MSRP there going to follow the same trend as car/truck dealers. I will not pay those prices for anything.This ole boy did not fall off the tree today.

RE: $3000 over MSRP?
I have never paid more than MSRP, even in the lean years, and I get the 1,000 mile service free in the deal as well as anything else I can get.
Both of my local dealers charge MSRP so I don't have a problem.
In Albuquerque however, they quoted me 2,000 over for a Street Glide, and that was during a sale that had it 1,000 off.
In Flagstaff recently they were trying to sell '06's at a little over MSRP and claiming that they were discounted for the new year model.
Regards,
Bill

when you find a dealer that wants everything in your pocket plus your first born, look for another dealer. All dealers have to honor the warranty, so you can take it wherever it is convenient for warranty work. My sales dealer is 100 miles away, my local did my warranty until the warranty went away. Now I do my own work.

things ain't like they used to be... Why pay $3000 over list when you can locate one online, buy it for retail,pay to have it shipped to you, and still only be a couple of hundred over retail. The market just ain't what it used to be

Skip Fordyce HD in Riverside CA has their 07 SG for 22,395. When I asked is'nt the MSRP 18,295 on that bike they simply said we're not an MSRP deealer. I drove 55 miles west to Orange County HD add put a deposit on an 07 SG, sticker price 18,395.
