Default Who pulled the trigger ???

I was just wondering who has bought a new 2017 yet, because I could not resist and got one yesterday.2017 Road king ABS and security with stage 1 I am picking it up tonight after work or tomorrow can not wait to ride it as I have not even tried it yet. I traded my 2014 Road king in with 22k miles and got just under 14k trade and the new bike was dead on MSRP so at least my dealer is not jumping up the price as others have mentioned here. The new engine and torque was a factor in my decision as I ride 99% 2 up but the better suspension, hydraulic clutch and cooler running are a big factors to me.Oh and I should mention my riding buddy came with us and he also bought a new bike a 2016 Ultra Low and they took $5,000 right off the top not a bad deal.

I bought an Ultra last Saturday. Traded my 2014 SGS in. The cooler running motor coupled with the better ride got me.

Got my name on a CVO SG. Hopefully It'll show up before I find something else I just gotta have.

I agree with the new model aspect, trust me I had my concerns about that. But then I thought about my uncles 1966 Electraglide(1st year of the shovel) and that seemed to work out ok still running strong 50 years later.

Curious as to why you didn't demo the '17 before buying.
