Bartel's in Marina del Rey made sure to tell me they were a MSRP dealer.

They have several 2016 models in stock.

It is not shocking for California dealerships to still have 16s. Some of these dealerships sell a ton of bikes. They get orders in of 200-300 bikes at a time. People around here, that I have experienced, tend to buy new model years.

Also, there are a lot of HD dealerships in California. I have 5 within 30 minutes of my house. I have been in SoCal for 5 years now and just last month went to one dealership in my area that I had never visited before.

With so many here, people tend to go to the closest 1-2 and call it a day. That is my experience at least in my circle of friends.

I haven't seen any 16s that are new around mid Michigan. I admit I haven't looked close at Sporster or Dynas though.

If I was looking at a 2 yr old new bike, the dealer can apply the $1500 gift card to the purchase in addition to a two year depreciation discount of about 20%.

Exactly, especially with the major changes from 2 years ago.
