A lot can happen in 5 years - get the one that puts the bigger smile on your face.

Color plays more of a factor in my purchase than resale...but that's just me.

Ditto!

Which one would you buy? Any and all suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Thanks

With the 2013's hitting the showrooms and if you're ready to buy, I would make an offer of $2500 under factory MSRP, then keep your mouth shut.Let the dealer decide if he'l take your offer, worse they can do is say no, you may be surprised.

Thanks to everyone who took time to share your thoughts. Decided to go with the majority and get the one that put the bigger smile on my face, and the wife's too. That'll be the 2013 RKC in pearl white.'

Though not my first bike it'll be the first HD. Buying it here in Italy through military sales. Decided to go with the extended warranty plan too. Just an insurance, no different then health insurance in my book. But riding through Europe with fewer HD dealers available I decided to take it.

The RKC won't be delivered for another 2 -2.5 months. When it is you'll get the pics.

Thanks again.
