They are dropping the Train in 2010 so you better buy now if that is what you want. Having said that, there is a good chance you will see a replacement of some sort in the Softail line that is a dark custom. Maybe a blacked out Rocker or a new Train with a 240 rear like the CVO Springer.

If you see the bike you want, buy it and ride it. Why wait when you can get the bike you want? Waiting to pay more and losing the pleasure of the season seems like the wrong move.

Best of luck whichever you way you decide to go.

If you need a reason to procastinate, wait on the 2010's. If you want to ride the season has already started...

Buy in July, the new models come out then. If 2010 models have something you want, buy it, otherwise there will be plenty of 09's to choose from.

Greetings,

Since the Train is gone for 2010, might as well buy it. As far as your deal goes, if that includes tax, title, and license, sounds pretty good! Let's see some pics if you get it.

i think you should wait man. the train is going to be off the list for the 2010 but no one knows if they are going to replace it with something else (some kind of tricked out night train) maybe it'll get replaced with a train that comes standard with a 240 in the rear.

I would wait, if you are able to find good deals now then you should be able to find an even better deal when the new models come out and the the stealers are looking to make room in their inventory for the new bikes.

i would wait it out. imagine if you fork over the money and then two months later a new tricked out night train hits the market. I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

If they have what you want now, get it now...but if you feel there may be something better around the corner than wait...but if that is your theory wouldn't you be waiting for each following years model to come out...so if this bike is meant to be yours and you know it, buy it, ride it, and enjoy the hell out of it.
