Default Welcome!

You may have to move that monthly payment a bit higher for that new 09 Road King.

I'm don't have your exact numbers in front of me (FICO score, dealer's final price), but scoring a monthly payment of $300 w/ no money down may be overly optimistic.

If you got the bike at exact retail and HD's lowest % rate, your payment would come to $303 mo. before you consider tax, title and license (or accessories). Thats if you could score that prime interest rate during a time when banks are feeling edgy loaning to folks with the highest scores.

09's will also be hard to find below retail prices this season as dealers will be more anxious to move the old model frame FLH's that weren't selling well before they were turned into dead stock.

I'd keep an eye on online sites like Ebay and Cycle Trader to see which dealerships in your area are dealing towards the end of the year.
