Different Strokes for Different Folks I guess. Not interested in any type of Sport Bikes myself. I'll take HD any time and any day over a Ducati.

Ride safe,

What is the mark up on these bikes, and what is a fair amount to ask for them to come down on?

Trade in the Duc on the SG and keep the Nova.

Im pretty sure that you are not going to find anyone on hdforums tell you to buy a Ducati instead of a Harley. Just the same as if you go on a Ducati forum im sure you wont have anyone tell you to buy the Harley. Sounds to me like you have made up your mind already but you need a little re-assurance from guys like us. Whatever you choose, ride safe and enjoy.

You are correct on the biased statements lol

But i do think that i have made up my mind on the HD only if i can get a good deal on it. the Ducati is 8 thousand dollars less. But i personally know the owner of Seminole Harley, she's a friend of my dad and some other that i know....so hopefully i can get her to give me a great deal to make the 8 grand not so much lol
