2015 vs 2016 Ultra Limited

Sounds like you did well. Congrats !
I bought a black '15 at the end of 2015 on a heck of a deal. Saved a little pile of dough. Not focused on the depreciation either. Love this bike and will keep it awhile.
Only downside to the M8's (besides parts incompatibility) is the current demand allows for the lower trade values for any bike pre-17. Sounds like a hot commodity right now.

Thanks for the feedback. In terms of performance, I test rode a 17 SGS with a Stage 1 kit a few weeks back, and while I did find it to have a nice, linear torque band, the mods I have done to my RK put it on equal footing. Thus why I wanted to get a 16 and move my parts on over (for a 17 I'm sure similar mods would give even more performance but I'd have to lay out the cash all over again).
cycle7447, best answer! "didn't buy if for the depreciation - instead, I got it because of appreciation (appreciate the riding)".
The local salesman would not budge, so this morning I called the GM, who is also the owner, sent him the offer from the out of town dealer. He matched it on the 2016. So, I will be going with the black 2016 Ultra Limited.

One is three model years old the other two model years old. And there's no significant difference between the two years. So I don't think there's really much diff in the depreciation. Glad you were able to get the match. That's quite a discount.
