If it's been sitting since November, see if they will give you a deal on it. And, you'll appreciate having the cruise for those long road trips!

Listen to Mastery...if it's been sitting...Deal him down! considering this quarters profits for all dealers are pretty much down 20-30%...you have a good bargaining chip.

And if it has cruise...Go for it...I can't imagine riding long trips without cruise anymore!

ride safe, Mike

Production date is the date it was made at the factory. Delivery date is the date you signed papers, and the dealer gave you the keys. It is called taking delivery of your bike. Production date is normally the date that final inspection is done at the factory.

Thanks to everyone that replied. Im going to go there Monday and see what he can do. Either I will talk him down on the cruise one, or just wait. I have no problem waiting if I was told that in the first place. I just hate getting jerked around. Either way, Im prepared to walk away from the deal and go somewhere else if he doesnt renegotiate the deal since Nov.
