14 should be in the 9.5 to 10 range. 11 is way too much.

They called me this morning and it is 10400 otd delivered to my house 150 miles away. The 14 has 100 miles on it. I am looking at a 13 at 5 pm in the candy red. I will own one of these bikes lol! A bonus on the 14 is it has 9 months of warranty left.

Get the 14 over the 13. they changed too many thing in my opinion to own a 13. warranty is a bit of a safety factor not bonus. You will most likely not use it. They are charging you some fees. Go pick it up and save 500.

I think I can get a low mileage 2014 48 for $8500 (Or less). We will see.

We may see some changes with the 883 and the 1200 Sportsters for 2016. Harley submitted them to the California Air resources for approval. That could very well mean that some changes could happen. They also applied for the Street 500 and 750.

If I was in the market right now, I would wait and see what the 2016 models would have first.

My vote is for the 2014 48. I got the same bike and the built in tach is a huge plus for me. You may not use the warranty that's left but if good for peace of mind.
