I am looking into the possibility of purchasing a 08 Vivid Black Street Glide. I saw one yesterday at my local dealer with all the fixings that I would like on it. Black frontend, ABS, Cruise Control, Security and more. It looked like it had the upgraded Rotors (Chrome). The dealer was asking 23K + taxes.... This is a bit steep. Just wondering what others paid. May be cheaper if I add the parts I want on to the bike. The ABS option is like $800!!
Anyhow the bike is sweet!!! But i don't know if I can justify spending that kind of $$$. I really dig the bike!!!
What do you guys think?
Looking to buy before the end of the month... Other choices are the Dyna Street Bob and Softail Cross Bones.
I would shop around, unless that dealer is theonly one aroundyou. I paid 17k for my 07 OTD, I got it after the 08 models were out, they were asking 20k for the new model.I couldn't justify spending the extra coin for just ABS alone.
I bought mine for 18,861.00 OTD. I have cruise and security no abs. The abs option would have only added another 795.00. 23k ???? Does it have a bar of gold in the saddlebag...
Paid MSRP+tax OTD. 08s have ABS option and the bermbos are sweet. The 6 gallon tank is a nice to have because I can kill a tank of gas in a few hours. I never use the cruise, I guess that was a waste for me. The security system/key fobis very nice not tofool with keys anymore. Used or new, get the SG. Touring models are Way better then the dynas or softys.
