Not really. They cut production down to half the original amount.
These bikes are going to be hard to get. Like any other item supply and demand in affect.

speaking of anniversary ed's... saw this posted in the dyna section, and since were on the discussion of anniversary ed's... anyone notice something...
100th Ann - we got the Energizer Battery paint scheme
105th Ann - we got the Duracell Battery paint scheme
110th Ann - well i haven't come up with one for that yet, but i will say in my opinion, from the photos, the Bronze and black look like some one had a dead line coming up, and said screw it, just add more green to all the left over copper from 2008... it looks like crap

10-yrs from now...it won't matter. Just because it's an "anniversary" model doesn't give it special powers/demand (IMHO). I'm finding tons of low-mileage 100th anniversary models at bargain prices in our area so buy/ride what you want. No need to scramble over to HD & add $$$ to their money train.

Most of the 13 colors stand out in sunlight. Saw the new blue color at dealer and looks good in the sun. In the shade , nothing great.

My 2011 King is the 100th Anniversary edition of Harley Davidson's 8th year in business!!! I'm willing to bet it's worth a lot of money for that!!!
