I'm with the consensus here. Not a good price. You don't give the miles or condition on the 8-Ball, so no idea what it's worth. Upside down is never a good place to be anyways, especially on a luxury item like a motorcycle. Ride your current bike for a couple more years and save money, or sell the Victory on your own. Plenty of low mileage good used Harley's for sale cheap and I don't see that changing for a while. Your negotiating position is much stronger when you don't have a trade to get rid of.

F-that. Fees after fees after fees, plus I'm sure the interest rate is well over 10%. Ride your victory and save your money.
How many miles a year do you put on the victory now? If it's not multiple thousands of miles. Keep the bike you have, because you don't ride enough to justify that kinda payment...

Never finance toys unless you can do better with that funds. Few can do that.
Explain how there creativity math works. How did a bike priced at $14,000 get to $17,299.
What I see is you can have two bikes and save $1500.
The above BS is why I never bought a new Harley and the used ones I have had came from private sellers.
You not going to fully beat them at their game but being informed can lessen the ordeal.
Check and verify ever line item that they are what they cost and do the math too.
