Who plans on buying a 2019
 

Put my deposit down on my 19 street glide special last Saturday. Just curious who all else plans on buying a new bike or maybe getting one. I ordered mine in the two tone scorched orange and black denim.

If I dont get a smoking deal on a 2018 SGS, I will be buying a 2019.

Im thinking about a 2007 softail custom to add to my collection......... does that count?

My dealer doesn't require a deposit, but the first scorched orange and black denim street glide special that comes in has my name on it !!

my 2007 green meanie was awesome, bought it brand new and put $10,000 into it..that was the beginning of my hard learning lesson about resale value and the last one I did like that

How much did the list price go up from last year?

I'm planning on it... Going to demo days next Fri at my local dealer. We'll see what happens.

I am considering a 19 Road Glide but it will have to be orange or forget about it.

I'm really on the fence between buying a low mileage used one or a new one. There are so many good prices on used ones with no miles that it makes it very tempting. The '17 Road Glide in orange is very nice but I'm leery of buying a used '17 because of the issues some folks had.

I've yet to ride an M8. I've been kind of avoiding it because most things I've heard is so positive I'm pretty sure I'd make the leap. I'm thinking about renting a Road Glide for a week to make sure I want to give up one of my softails for a Road Glide.
There is a demo days coming up but a 10 mile ride just isn't enough for me to decide.

If the 114 comes in a touring model that I like. I know the basic Road King will be a 107 so that's out. Of course that's the one I was after. I may have to go Police and convert it to a passenger model again.

If they gave him trade numbers they had to start at MSRP,

I would imagine prices for the specials will go up another 1300 considering the 114 is the power plant. I just bought an 18 RGS almost 2 weeks ago and got a pretty good deal. The 114 would be nice but i expected the price would increase.

I plan to get one but I'm letting the early adopters check it out first...

I don't see why, the RG special in 2016 had the 103 and went to the 107 in 2017 with only a $500.00 price jump. In 2018 the special went up $2400.00.

prolly because the 18 specails came out with stretched backs and blacked out.

And yet paint is cheaper than chrome,go figure..

oh i agree. I would rather have chrome anyway. So it didnt bother me that bad when the 18s came out all blacked out right after i bought my 17. However it did tick me off i lost out on the stretched bags. I will may trade my 17 for a 19 if the deal is right and they have a color i like with stretched bags and chrome etc.

I like chrome I just hate polishing it. I can clean this bike with a whores bath.. I would rather be riding .

I talked to the salesman and service manager a while ago on trading my 17 and transferring the parts to a new Road Glide. At the time they told me the cost to do the swap would be $3,750. Since I have only added more so just not feasible for me. Now if I happen to stumble over a bag of money....

Did they give you the new list price,If not how could they show you a worked up deal?

A 2019 what? I'm fighting off the urge to get a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 for a 'Practice" bike. One of the new 2019 MoCo "naked" bikes would be a welcome addition to the stable, MAYBE with a Livewire, although I'm leaning strongly toward an Energica for my first EV. Time will tell...:icon_nic:

Ok thank you.

I just do not like the harley style stretched bags. It's like the did it half way and then stopped and said that's good enough. I want enough stretch to wrap my mufflers.

So I dont hate I missed it on the 18 specials having those bags versus my 17

you'll have more fun on the ninja 400

Good possibility that I will get a 2019 but my target has been a 2020. If all the problems are ironed out and they get rave reviews, maybe a low mileage used '19 next summer right before the 20's come out. Save myself a little cash.

YEAH, but that bike sure is PURRRTTTYYYY!

I second that! The lawn looks fantastic too..... very green.

No way JD! you joined the fray? Well, thats cool as heck. How do you like the M8? I havent been on in a while, I know you were looking at an M8 but it didnt sound like you were going to buy one........... good for you man, enjoy!

Might grab me a Livewire next year I think if they're out !
