RE: Market Flooded????
When I walked in to FTL HD in 96, I was told the only Harley he could get was an 883. He also said he wouldn't sell it to me cause I was too big for it. I bought a 1200 Sporty Custom there in 99, and there have been bikes around ever since. Could care less about the market, just want to ride.

RE: Market Flooded????
Well I may be deceiving myself but one of the justifications I use for spending so much for a Harley is that the money is not lost on something that will depreciate down to almost $0 like a metric..... If I had the luxury of knowing exactly which bike I would want forever then I guess it would not really matter. But I figure each change of bikes could cost up to $5000 or more in lost money if I don't buy them right and buy the right ones. The SE's seem to hold value better but they also seem to be harder to sell. Do you think the CVO bikes are a good investiment?

My dealer says he is having a very hard time getting Sportsters. Not sure why.
The Sporty is more of an entry level bike for Harley so maybe this indicates better days ahead for the bigger bikes. If new blood (more newbies like me
) come into the market buying Sporties, they will be trading up as time goes by. Motorcycling is getting much more media attention now, which could be good or bad.

Hey Squish another question: I know the difference between Plasma and LCD, but what is this DLP. Is that the same or different. BTW I am leaning toward LCD.

Hey Solid Lifter, DLP is "digital light processing" and it's different than (conventional) LCD or Plasma. If you're interested in the technology, here's a link:
http://www.dlp.com/
The DLP sets are flat screen but not flat panel. Meaning, you can't wall mount because they're about 16" deep. There are a few that are somewhat shallower.
But, I say Plasma. Most bang for the buck, bigger screen sizes, better color saturation. If you're seriously shopping go to www.avsforum.com for some great discussions and advice.
