I sold a 2020 Street Glide to a dealer in 2022 with 17,000 miles for $20,000
I figure Ive got $5000 more in the 22 FLTRXS, but in this market, and this time of year I expect low $20s might be the best we can get. But theyll price it for sale/cell/sail/sell like they gave you $28K.
Honestly - I dont think any of what HD is offering is worth the price, I remember waiting for the new model years to roll out & they had decent colors, the Accessories were already in the P&A catalog & you just waited to get that paperback version. I remember Harley would send out 3D puzzle bikes & if you built a bike and saved it a few weeks later you got a picture of that bike on like an 8x10 or something.
Now - all the colors are drab, they`ve eliminated some of the standard parts (Heritage took a big hit), the Badges and trim work are basically gone & so on & so on. what you get now is a bike with a bigger engine, louder radio & a Cinemark theatre screen & it all comes at a cost that is pretty much out of line for most. Now............I know someone is gonna read this & say wait a minute, HD cost this much back when & wages were this & now if you factor in blah blah blah they are right on mark with were they should be - & Id say to that jack tard, you better figure out the rest of the economics that go along with that thought process.
Everything is at the level of un affordable in todays market, most Manufacturers are trying to cut corners to keep the shareholders happy & it is reflected in the products we buy today, I read on here people bought the New CVO & have zip tied the brake line due to a backwards install, another guy stating he has a lemon of a CVO. Harleys mentality to let their customers be beta testers while resting on the thought that "we are Harley Davidson" an American icon & people will pay what we ask - its going to bite them in the ***.
I love my HD & when I read of the problems with the new platform, the costs & see what they have coming - I think Ill keep what I have cause if anyone on here thinks 30 years from now a 2023 M8 will be sought after & worth money (hell youll be lucky if it runs with all that electrical crap) I hope you`re right, Harley will not have the longevity as they did with the knuck, Pan, shovel or Evo............JMHO
so because some of us understand basic financial facts, we're jack tards? I think the only jack tard is the jack tard living in 1980 when those days are very clearly long gone. And a large part of that is the doing of the generation who uses terms like jack tard
I'm trying to figure out what jack tard wants to put together a 3D puzzle of a bike and get a picture in the mail. Sounds like a similar jack tard who wants to go hang out at their local dealer to get a hat or whatever other little trinket
As hattatude shows, they took from both bike's price, so the difference is fair. My thought is if you want it, and can afford it, why not? Life is short, no sense being the richest guy in the graveyard.
