Watch out for the depreciation - certainly don't get your money back like a normal Harley.

 

Nice that they can be serviced (most parts avail) at any HD dealer, but you can get a lot more bike for that kind of money

 

That would be a negative,not all HD dealers will service them as they are not a HD.

 

for 43 grand... I could buy a RGSE and do it right.. or?? better yet?? buy a stock RG, and REALLY do it right.... and have plenty of money of gas , tires, and food....
resale value??? LOL after I'm done with a bike...150-200k on the odo... I've gotten MY money outta it

 

Sounds to me like paying an extra 10 grand for the name TM to be put on it ... Pass

 

I sat on the TM bagger the other day and was amazed by its balance. You could pick it up with your pinky finger. I asked the dealer how they did that, he pointed to the right side belt drive. It made enough of an impression that I would almost consider that for a mod on my Road King.

Beary

 

Not true, they come with a HD warranty, 2 years I think.

 

My first encounter with them was at the "Cowboy HD" in TX forgot the city name. anyway I sat on one with the 40 plus degree rake on it. comportable and definitely a chick magnet as they say. The prize well it's like buying a "Bimmer". For the prize for one of them you can get a well dress UC and have some money left over for a long trip. If come down on the prize I might consider getting one for those short ride locally.

 

The only custom I would consider. Still would rather have a Harley.

 

Low Country dealership here in town is trying to phase them out, they are too big, take up too much floor space, and don't sell fast enough.

the little Sportster chopper was $24~$25k at Daytona HD, but it was made for short people, but had WAY forward controls.

i talked to the kid who R&D'ed it, his wife was 5'7 with like a 28inch inseam. DUH, he used her to mock up the bike.

short people can't ride it. the air cleaner prevents my wife's feet from reaching the fwd controls.
