I am seeing a few 07s in the 15000 range with fairly low miles (under 10K) but very few. I bought an 08 with 8k for 16 two months ago and have been keeping a eye out for better deals, so far I still feel good about my purchase

Right on target!
Funny this should finally come up. Most folks who are selling their steeds NEED to sell them. Those asking price ARE inflated...not a seller's market at present.
Been reading the inputs re 2006 vs later model years. The street Glide is one of those "gotta have" for many...I know. I kept my Deuce but decided I wanted a bagger 2! Got an 06 FLHXI. Am I sorry I didn't bargain for an 07 or later? NO! Or did I want to make the distinction between the 07 thru 08s for the so-called new and improved 09s. How about the 2010s or the SVOs. It's a game and the MOCO is playing the buyer like a fiddle. It depends on YOUR tastes AND your pocketbook.

IMHO, the value will keep declining every year until the MOCO goes to all water-cooled engines, then it will increase.
As for the asking prices on the auctions and craigslist, very few, if any, of the bikes are actually selling for those unrealistically high prices. Those owners are stuck with bikes they can't sell since the market is completely flooded with used bikes right now. The only ones that seem to sell consistently are the ones that are pretty much factory stock with extremely low miles.

Got my 06 for 15,900 cash couple weeks ago the way it sits. Fuel injected, 6500 miles, Rinehart true duals, RC components wheels front & rear & stage 1 kit. 2006 thru 2010 are all the same bikes to me.

Hot bikes will hold value - saw three SG's sell at the local HD-ship a few weeks back. Glad to see my investment strategy pay-off b/c my stocks sure didn't...

I like your comments about 06 07 08 09 10's. I'm just glad I finally got one last year

I suspect the '06s are going to be worth even less by next summer. The changes to the touring line overall since '06 have been monumental, everyone is going to want the 96/6-speed, and the bigger tank, and the ABS, and the new frame, etc., etc.
I'd go with at least an '07 unless you don't care about resale.

I tend to disagree. I know alot of riders, like myself, that will not get anything newer than a 2006. My 06 FLHX does not have the throttle by wire, O2 sensors, Catylitic Comnverter, etc etc etc. Newer is not always better.
The EPA and Feds are ruining the motorcycle industry just like they killed the muscle cars. Pretty soon the only way to meet the EPA regs will be with a water cooled engine. Sorry - I am not buying into this crap.
