I LOVE the 103 and want to move up from my Heritage......and get an absolute steal in the process.

There are a couple 2016's Tourers at Columbia Harley in TN.
Prices are around $21,000............

Btw - gotta ask - how much?

Haven't quite pulled the trigger yet....still working on the deal.

A few of their Anniversary paint schemes over the years have been just great, whether they are badged up or not!

Well, I'm finding out that I'm not quite getting the deal I wanted on a new 2016. Dealership is acting as if the things haven't depreciated when it is 2 years old. Also raping me on trade.

Oh well, I'll ride what I have. The story might change on these 2016's when the 2018's arrive.

So as heavymetalthunder said, deals are scarce as hen's teeth.
