trade

going to dealers today to haggle over a trade of my Fat Boy for a new RGC.
I know HD will not make them anymore or they may comeback reincarnated as something.
Knowing they will be "obsolete" should I trade for it?
Or---is it basically like other touring bike and "no worries" ?

If it is what you want make the trade, if it isn't what does it matter?

I would wait until they announce the new models just to see more options, think there will be a new touring model that may be super cool...

Why not wait ? I bought my '06 Deuce in Aug. of that year, if I had waited I could have gotten a newer model with a bigger motor and a six speed. Sometimes fast comes in last.

If your not sure about it I would wait as others have said. The 2014's are just weeks away but if you really like the roady and you don't think it will be there in a few weeks than you should get it now before they are all gone.

obsolete??? its the MoCo...just cause they stop making the actual model, doesnt mean parts will disappear!!

there are hundreds of companies making aftermarket parts. If you want a RGC then go get it!

Sell your bike instead of trading it in. By the time you sell it, the new bikes will be out and you can make up your mind plus you'll have at least 2 grand more than the dealership will offer.
