Default $42,400 !!

Stopped by local dealer this weekend, Quaid H-D in Temecula, CA., right by the front door they had a CVO Limited priced at $42, 400 ! Now I know that we all overspend on our Harleys but $42K ? Jesus H Christ, if that's not an example of how ridiculous H-D has gotten with their prices I don't know what is ! Ironically, I was car shopping recently and looked at some brand new Lexus models the IS-250/350 and ES-350. All can be had for less than the CVO Limited. I understand supply and demand but HD is taking it's customers for one hell of a ride !

True, but when you go to sell the HD down the road, you're gonna get more resale than the Lexus. And, unlike most cars, there comes a time when Harleys stop going down in value. Proof is the prices of vintage bikes.

Unfortunately, they will continue to get ridiculous with their prices as long as we continue to buy.

Same goes for cars and trucks. They ain't getting cheaper. Stopped and looked at 13 Chevy Rocky ridge truck lifted and all the bells and whistles. Msrp $63,000 marked down to 53. Wife about fell out.

Was at my local HD two weeks ago and they were talking about how they'd been given an allotment of 20 CVO models 6 months previous. Out of that 20 they only had 1 left. As indicated by others, with that kind of demand the prices will only go up.
