Default When to buy 2016 FatBoy S

Ready to pull the trigger on 2016 FatBoy S Denim! There are a lot of new ones in NJ for $20k.

Based on your experience, will I be paying less for new 2016 FatBoy S in December OR that same 2016 bike in ~March-ish of 2017?

Obviously if I see slightly used one, i have no problem jumping on that deal as well.

There should be good buys out there, any time from now until spring.

Just keep up with your dealers stock and go for it in February or March . By then the 16s will truly be a leftover.

I'd try and get the best price the week after Christmas. They maybe trying to end the year with more sales. If you own it on Jan 1 you have to pay personal property tax on it in Missouri. Not sure how it is in your area but that will eat into your savings some also.

I'm not a wealthy man by any means, but I usually buy something when I want it, if I can afford it that is. Life is short and nobody knows when it's their time to go, so the sooner you get the thing, the longer to enjoy it.
