Default dealer called today

a local dealership called again today. I had called some weeks ago to ask about a new 08 road king classic, crimson sunglow, with abs. Said he had one coming in. The first time he called to give me the difference for the new one and mine (05 ultra). I thought it was too much ( 7800 diff) and I told him so.
He called today saying he still had the bike (1 1/2 weeks later) and wanted to work a deal out.
I just thought it was interesting that a dealer would still have the bike on the floor this long.
Wonder if they are having a tuff time selling the bikes with abs?

I think that people are just leary of having a bike with abs. Something else to get used to. I would like to try it out myself.

I talked to my local dealer here in NC today about the same question of "isn't that the bike I was looking at a few months ago in here" His reply was; "theres somany people out there buying used bikes its getting pretty hard in here to keep the sales up" Makes you wounder what their mark up is?
