Bought my '02 FXD last Sept w/16K on the clock for $6500. I don't need the latest/greatest/"coolest"/newest & that mondo price difference leaves me a ton of room to make 'er mine.

If your going to buy a sporty then buy it used. You won't end up keeping it and they are a dime a dozen used.
I bought my sporty off craigs list and rode it for 2 years and traded it in for the dyna for 500 less then I paid for it

Yeah, I had a feeling the price was bonkers. The HD Dealer has about 5 Sporsters laying about all over the place and maybe 6 883's. They don't seem to sell well. They move just about every other bike but these. The Dealership is actually pretty popular and the people there are cool. They sell enough of the bigger bikes but the F&P is what kills it for me.

Op, also remember you are buying at the wrong time. Spring is when motorcycle prices and demand is highest. I bought mine in early January when no one was riding and the dealer was struggling to pay the utlity bill.

Before giving you an answer, I got curious and did some checking of my own. I checked the Motorcycle Buyer's Guide and they had the 2013 48 at $10,600. Based on that, if you still want a 48, I would suggest doing some checking around first. Granted, not every 48 will be set up the same and final pricing might not be the same but for what you quoted, I'd take a walk and look someplace else.
