Default 2018 Fatboy Anniversary
I am buying a new Fatboy but asking if you think the Anniversary Fatboy will be worth paying 900 more for?

Only you can decide that. You have to like the color and the graphics. We can't decide for you....

As others have said, value is in the eye's of the beholder.

Historically; black ( the only no extra cost paint ) is your best return on investment.

A motorcycle is a toy....if you buy one thinking it will be worth money someday , you are buying it for the wrong reason..buy what you like and enjoy it

I could see it for the 100th anniversary if someone bought one and put it in a glass box but otherwise like the others are saying it's a toy not a collector item and if you ride it it will depreciate for sure

Which anniversary scheme are you getting? I think there are two paint anniversary paint schemes for 2018, but I could be wrong.
