I had to face the same thing- 2010 would have saved me more probably, but I think I would have always regretted not getting the 103. And I wanted ABS, so the 2011 really wasn't as much as a cost difference (i think, because I didn't really struggle over it). I didn't want to end up with regrets, since hopefully the bike will last me quite a while.
When I decided to buy in August I was sitting in a desert in the middle of nowheresville....I had been looking at the 2010's but decided to wait a couple of weeks just to see what the 2011's had to offer.
Well since the 2011's were out I asked about a discounted price on the 2010's....sorry same price until December....(this was all online through Military Sales) That made it sort of easy for me.....was liking the Flame Blue on the 2010 RK but also like the Sedona Orange as well......for the same $$ it made sense to go with the 2011 for me.
If you can save quite a bit on the 2010 and don't mind some of the changes that were made of the 2011's than you may have a great deal
I too just swithched from the 2010 dyna wide glide to a 2011 street glide without the 103 package and could not be better satified. This bike rides amazing. I wish i would have bought the street glide first cause i lost a little money on my dyna but now im satisfied and it puts a smile on my face so thats all that matters to me.
Hey guys! I bought my '10 Fat Bob in July and am considering moving up to a Street Glide. Besides the 103" motor what is different on the '11 vs. a '10 leftover? Any pro/cons? Thanks in advance!
You're gonna' take a brutal hit on the trade. There are still '10 leftover Fat Bobs around, and I don't think that was one of fast movers.
