Yep, it's definitely a buyers market right now, even on new bikes...
And with new bike prices like that, it's a real mess for people trying to sell used bikes, especially if like many they financed their bikes...

RE: cheap bikes !!!
That's strange... I live in Idaho (not exactly metropolis) and work at a dealership in Boise. We are still selling Nightsters like crazy (even in winter)... Of course, our dealer is ranked 11th in sales in the nation (2nd in the entire western region). A new Nightster for $7995.... That literally sounds insane. Are their freight and set-up charges $1000 a piece?... Lots of dealers are running that scam... Making their profit in dealer costs... shady.

RE: cheap bikes !!!
I'm pretty shocked by that pricing, Destination is usually the last place you're gonna find great deals. Usually all we hear about is how much over MSRP Bruce is selling for.

RE: cheap bikes !!!
Not sure about other areas of the country but, in VA...if price is your concern (and who's isn't right...?), used is the way to go. I bought my '06 1200C (in November) with about $2,500 worth of mods/accessories (4,000 mis) for $7,500. Even at that, I feel I paid $500 too much compared to other deals out there. Original owner paid $9,500 plus mods/access. $4,000 loss in 16 months...? New is not worth it...
Buddy of minejust bought an '06 1200L with 1,100 miles ($500 of upgrades) for $6,595...Bike is showroom condition. Blue Book retail is over $8,200 with no upgrades...
With bike shipping readily available and pretty common these days, doubtful this is a "regional issue"...H-D has definitely flooded the market
