There are small Harley dealers (like Paris, TX for instance) where you can buy a newer Harley for cheaper than the older years that are new. Just sayin

I just signed papers for 2009. It was a little over $100 over their 2008 demo they wanted to sell me. Well worth it! Frame and swing arm is much better.
