Wanting new EG Standard
Okay, been mulling in my mind about moving the '02 Road King Classic (now with hard bags) out and getting an '09 EG Standard (Denim Black). Trying to work it out in my mind why I should step up to a newer model with a batwing.
Love my Road King; but the 96" and 6 speed are great on the newer models. After seeing a few EGS in blacked out form, I was hit with the buy bug.
My girlfriend thinks I am nuts; maybe I am. Are the dealers willing to move the '09s just yet or am I going to be faced with MSRP? Have never bought a new bike.
I know the answer, but I guess I over-analyze everything too much. RIDE ON....

Why don't you buy a bat wing for your RK? If the '02 is running good and looks OK, that's A LOT cheaper. Probably under $1,000 or so without a radio.
You can get a top of the line 6 speed tranny with a 50K mile warranty for under $2,000.
Just sayin'

They had one with abs and cruise marked down from msrp by $2000 at a local dealer last month. I 'm sure its long gone now.

I guess I should re-phrase my real reason in asking: "For those that have purchased new bikes in the last 30 days or so; are dealers looking to deal more (lower than MSRP), or what have you seen concerning this?"

That denim black standard is the first time I've thought about buying a new bike. It's too cool. I have an 05 Standard and love it. Word is, they won't have the Standard next year, so now may be the time. You'd have a one run color in that model. Wouldn't see as many of them out there. That'd be nice.

I went from 03 RKC that I loved to an 08 Ultra. Im not sure how many times I said it ,but many times I said" If I wanted all that luxury I`d take the car" Now that I have 12000 miles on it ,I still miss the RKC , but I would never trade back. I LOVE IT. It takes a little getting used to have 6 gears but......... I LOVE IT.
