Great Deal
I ordered a new bike coming next month and got a great deal, everything is negotiable. I did go to two other dealers though, one had no new bikes out anywhere. The other one was doing demo rides with half their fleet and there was a lot of people there, guess it depends on the dealer, offer free rides and a lot more people show

Great deal
Dealers will sit back and reap the benefits of having 2 choices for buyer's. Some or offer the 110 kit with purchase or show a discount as trade or discount. They want $$$ on NEW bike purchase period. Key word here NEW bike 16 or 17. MoCo gives dealers new bike availability on really good ones based new volume. Premium bikes equal more $$ bottom line. If you ride a new one and want it tell the sales person to take you to the sales manager. Tell them behind a closed door, you ARE going to buy a bike and someone's going to get my money. Now they will listen. Make your deal your way and be ready now, 16 or 17. Keep telling them someone is going to get my money today and you can give it to someone else! Ride on.

I agree! not a dime over MSRP here either. I went to a small dealer on Friday and they had 8 on the floor and the tech said they had a bunch in the back still to be prepped.
The dealer can only try that crap for so long, they need to get the new 17's on the road if they are going to take back the market share lost to Indian and Victory.
I doubt the supply and demand is the same today when I bought my 01 RK and had to take a 1,000 to the dealer only to get a number because they couldn't meet demand. They will be/are cranking 17's off the assembly lines at full production I'm sure.

Oh yea, im sure the are really cranking them out. I was shocked when I saw they had 30 new 2017 models on the floor only 1 week since release. There was tons of people there looking, but from the hour that I was there I was the only person that asked to test ride. The sales guy was sure he had me hook line and sinker. Unitl he told me the price and I said im just here to check it out today, the wife will make the decision later. LOL
