Default New Harley owner!

Hey all!

So I decided I wanted to learn to ride a motorcycle this year, and always had a thing for Harley's

So I took the Riders edge class on memorial day, bought an old yamaha 650xs that same weekend and have been practicing ever since.

Closed today on my choice of a 2009 Vivid Black Road King.

Awesome bike from the little I have had on it (test rides). Paperwork tomorrow and I should be riding no later than Friday. I will make sure to take some pics of the new baby.

Curious what others paid for new Road Kings this year?

I ended at 17,200$ out the door (not including sales tax)

for a vivid black flhr with cruise and security

and they threw a 500$ gift card for accessories in.

Is that a decent deal or did I get reamed because I probably looked like a giddy schoolgirl?


Just had to share, I am excited as a kid on xmas eve.


Peace

-A

Cograts on the RK, from the prices I've seen on the showroom floor it sounds like you got a decent deal.

congrats on the new bike..... I learned years ago.... "get your best deal.... and then stop looking"

Just about every high priced item, I've ever bought, was available for less AFTER I made my purchase
