BUY AN 08 STREET GLIDE OR AN 07
RE: BUY AN 08 STREET GLIDE OR AN 07
I'd get the '07. The Brembos are UGLY and NON REBUILDABLE (you REPLACE them!)Fly by wire? Your cell or pacemaker goes off and you bike dies or accelerates. Bigger tank? Big deal. You're gonna want to stretch your legs every 200 miles or so anyway. The prices/incentives are going to keep coming. My local dealer is stacking and storing '08s cuz he'sstill has over 100 '07a on the showroom floor. TK.

New car dealers can't wait to get the new year models out for sale, and they just incentivize pricing on the older inventory to move them. HD dealers don't seem to want any of that - "Screw the customer and what he wants to buy - I'll be the judge of when people can start buying these new bikes - to hell with 'em - they can wait".

in the end, the way I see it, HD is making some nice moves, price increases seem to be in line with the rest of the industry and while i disagree with some of the decisions they made on the line up this year, i can't argue with it overall...

can ya blame him??? i'd want to clear at least 99% of my inventory before I started putting out 08's as well... then again, i wouldn't let my showroom have empty spaces either, i'd just keep the 07 at the front of the showroom and stuff the 08's at the back... cut a few deals on 07 and price hike the 08's (msrp +)...

New car dealers can't wait to get the new year models on floor. Why are motorcycles any different?
When you have prior year inventory left-over, you put the new stuff on display, and price the older stuff to move.
