I am upside down on the loan. The 18 is the hardy candy hot rod red flake. Of course... the most expensive color on the SG.... That is 29K MSRP. My payoff is about 29.5K. Id hate to see what the dealership will give me for the 18.

sorry to hear of your situation , good luck .
Funny thing, she got the same seat I have on mine. She liked it enough that she wanted one.... So even if I swap out the seats to my nice broke in one, it is still the same look...

Thank you. But I also must consider this... Is that smoking deal going to be worth it?


Assuming that the 19 models come out in August, that is 4 more payments that I have to make. That is a total of $2,400 in payments on it. Would I be breaking even? Coming out ahead? Maybe behind?

Well the fact is you pretty much going to get screwed now or you going to get screwed later.

if you wait it's going to seem less painful but in the end it's still the same screwing.

I think if it was me I'd rather just take my screwing right now and be done with it.

But I think the smart thing to do is holdout see what the 19 offers.

It is a very nice color.
I would hope the dealer treats me well... the 18 SG is the THIRD bike I bought from them. Looking at a FOURTH?!?!
$600/month is by choice. I could pay minimum but I like to pay more on principle. I do the same for my house.

Or put a new babe on the back, sans panties, and a nice ride to a secluded spot with some HD branded vodka and maybe you WILL ride the bike the ex rode on......

It's certainly worth a go while you ponder your situation.

I'm just trying to help a brother out.

Oh yeah, if you take my suggestion, post pixs please....

My 16 SG is the crushed ice white and I love that color. I hope that the 19 offers that white again but I do not believe they will do so.

Keep it for the next ol lady. If you can’t finacially then put it up for sale, it’s unlikely to sell so trade it in on a 2018 when the 2019s come out. In the mean time let your buddies drive it around
