$11K seems high to me for a 2012 FLHTK (I'm assuming used). I recently bought a black one with 12K miles on it for $19K. Maybe you're not getting much for your trade? I don't know...I'm sure you know what you're doing. The Limited is a fantastic ride!

My RK is a 12 the limited is a 13 brand new on the floor, sticker on the limited was 26,000 which they dropped to 24,500 plus they gave me 15,000 for my RK. I added the extended warranty and prepaid maintenance as well as a full stage 1 and some other goodies for a total of 11,000 financed

Job well done! Your post said you got a 12 so I assumed you got a used one. Nice add-ons and the ESP too!

Sounds like a good deal to me. Congrats on the new ride. I would have steered clear of the bike with 60k on it. I think you made a wise choice. You can always add a second bike to the stable later. I am looking to add a hotrod bobber sometime in the future.

Sweet! That wasn't a very good deal that you were looking at. Your numbers are off by 2-3 grand though... now that you're going to have to also pay JP cycles and Dennis Kirk and dynojet and and and... PLEASE when you take delivery DON'T let them ring that stupid phuking bell!

Great deal for you - congrats on the new ride & you can "convert" the limited into a day-tripper with a few accessories & quick mounts. Make sure momma gets some seat time too...
