So let me get this straight...
There was a reduction in price (value)
AND
a 30lb weight gain since last year (with zero gain in performance).....

Holy Crap!!
Did I just get married?

Price came down cuz they can't move as many bikes as they could a few years ago. Here in Florida, some of the dealers have reduced the pricing to MSRP!!!

Always nice to know that my first HD was $600 more than the newer improved version offered the following year. I know times are tough but thats a pretty good shot to the 08s. Thanks MOCO

Sounds about how they hosed the people that bought a Superglide in 2007 for Msrp of $14,650 and then they came out in 2008 with a msrp of $12,999.&nbsp\\; But keeps people buying a new one why pay 12 or 13 k for a used when you can buy a new one for that

Steal??? Pleae tell me you did not just refer to the purchase of a new Harley as a "steal".[\\]
That would be a matter of perspective. It depends on who is looking at it, the buyer or the seller.

Florida ia behind the times. Chicago and Milwaukee area dealers have been selling at MSRP for over two years. In fact, some V-Rod models have been selling below MSRP.

With discounts today, my car is&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;$12000 cheaper this year new than when I bought it in '05. Companies have to adjust to the times,&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;the Road King is&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;huge for Harley, so why not make it more attractive.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
That said, I'm glad the RKC didn't loose MSRP.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; &nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

There are certain dealers in FL that are MSRP and have been for some time.&nbsp\\; Not the one in Daytona, they are WAY PROUD of their bikes.&nbsp\\; Of couses it costs a lot to run the adjacent "entertainment center.."&nbsp\\; Both mine were MSRP and had OTD pricing when broken down was very reasonable.&nbsp\\; No games.
