On 12's probably not much off list. I bought a new 11 SG first week of August and it was $2,800 under list, and they had a few to choose from. Same Dealer was doing $3,200 off Ultra's and they had quite a few, I would think they're all gone.

What ever you do, do not bargain with cash. May seem like a good point but it's not. They make more money on finance kickback and service then from Big Brother Harley. Always always get the best price as if you are going to finance. Listen to the finance man and then pull the bait and switch by saying I take it and then stroke them a check for the bottom line paid in full. Did it on my last to cars. However I can only say the Harley dealer around here wants more then book the last two time I tried to buy a Harley from him but that was a few years back. When did the Harley web site quit quoting shipping? And too you new buyers is there still a Softail balanced engine?

Down in Texas there is no bargaining on the MSRP. They do throw in gift cards sometimes or other freebies. And they will bargen on the trade in. Good Luck, but look to used if you want a good deal and the ability to bargen.

With that said, I understand some chances are being made at the York plant that might slow or even stop production for a while so the availability and price may be a lot different now and into the near future.
Good luck!

Well, I totaled mine out last Monday. Insurance paid off Thursday. I didn't break any bones. Just road rash on both elbows and my left hip is black and blue and swollen.
I'll wait a couple of months for the soreness to go away before I get serious. Damn that hurt. But for a 60 year old I came away very lucky.
I hate lossing my 99 Standard. I was planning on keeping her until she truned 100,000. She only had 75,000 on her.
With the economy the way it is I might look for a used one with low miles but I don't want anything older than a 2009. I have heard a lot of good things about the new framed bikes.
Thanks for all of your replies.
