2017 vs 2015/2016
Thoughts-Opinions....given how soft the market has become for ALL motorcycles sales, trade ins, etc...I've seen several low miles Ultra Limiteds 2015/2016 going for 18K-22K. Thoughts on buying a lightly used Limited vs a new Ultra Limited. On a side note, I would hate to have a 2014-2017 Victory (not paid for) and want to trade it in....the values just hit the bottom....IMO...

soft?
welcome to winter in the Northern States...it's more cyclical up there.
lots of motion on our streets and sales private and dealership seems to be going well.
I see a goodly amount of 17's on the road.
our cycle has us typically riding less in the summer months, unless heading ( quickly) to cooler climes
value- the twin cams are superceeded, just as the new frame, the evo, disk brakes, over head valves or other advances affected the previous models.

I would test ride them all and buy what you like best. Not much difference between the 14-16. I would make sure you got the linked braking. A great option in my opinion.
Much better to let someone else take the first hit on price in this crazy market if you can find what you like.
I have not riden an M8 yet but really hear great things about the new suspension.
Good luck with your search.

If I wasn't trying to unload a very difficult bike to sell I would not have bought another new bike. Too many garage queens and people strapped for cash. You do have to look around but deals are out there.

I have a friend that is the used car manager at a local Dodge dealer. He just sold another good friend of mine a 15 Limited with 2300 miles, for 16,200.00. Both friends were happy with the deal. I'm happy for my friend. Considering I own a 14 Limited, for me, not so much.
