I have been fighting with the dealer on purchasing a new SG. The price they are stuck at is $26,100 OTD. Now before anyone freaks out this includes $6,200 worth of add ons (actually they gave me 15% off accessories so total add ons is closer to $7,300.) The price for the bike itself is $18,500 it is vivid black cruise only. Is this price worth signing the papers or walking away from? Also is the abs, security option really worth the extra coin?
So sounds like the actual price of the bike isn't bad just the 15% accessories. So what do you guys think if I threw this at them. Same price for the bike OTD but include abs and security. In the end that should be close to another 15% off the accessories.
You are getting the bike for $1,300 under MSRP, that is pretty good. I would ask for 30% off the accessories and see what they say. My dealer will do 30% off accessories all day long on a new bike purchase with free installation.
I think its pretty plain on HDforums that opinions on the value of ABS is subjective (even controversial).
To me, ABS is a personal must-have. I'm confident its saved me from a serious incident that would have easily maimed or killed. Security comes with the ABS option and cruise control is super handy as well...
Cant think of anything I'd spend the other $4800 on.
My father-in-law said basically the same thing about abs but I have never had a bike that had it. I should just steal his bike for the afternoon and see how I like it. Now how to sneak his bike back into the garage without him shooting me????
A majority of the accessories are Renegade wheels/tires.
