Didn't read the thread, just the title. There has been a couple of threads already with the same theme. I understand if you don't like the FXDR, what I don't understand is the need to convince total strangers?

Exactly why I have kept my '10....such a fun bike.

Yes,
$18,670.00 OTD complete.
I thought it was a smoking hot deal.

They will do 5000.00 for my Deuce so now I'm down to 13,670.00
Trying not to have to "have it now".

The used 4Runners around Denver or even 500 mi. radius, are going for over 30,000. Even 15-16' models with higher mileage fetch 28???
Mine had an MSRP of 41,950.00
Paid 36.700.00. OTD We have to pay the DMV for plates so I hope they don't kill me. 780 estimated.
Financed 26,800.00
All 3 closest dealers quoted 4-5k off list delivered. 2020's must be coming soon?

Have always liked them and did really well on a Tundra. Bought it, kept it 4 years and got 12 grand OVER what I owed.

Going to do an extended test drive and see if the "tune" is good. (throttle response)

That air cleaner would have to go immediately ! Actually like the exhaust lines.

Same deal on the Tacoma. I wanted to buy used but they held their value so well I was better off buying new. Drove it for 18 months and sold it for $1500 less than I paid.

I am REALLY kicking myself in the **** over this deal

Should have went to the HD dealer first.

My son doesn't need a car until late august. The 2019 deals will be better with the 2020's out.
I saw a 3000 down 360 a month lease deal and that is what got me going on the 4Runner.

Could have taken the 10k down (plus I opened a 5000.00 account with Belco to join),
Traded in my bike. And been left with real short money.

Not sure if HD finance has a min.? They probably do.
Or could have just paid cash and leased another truck when school starts.

Now I am in semi scramble mode to make the FXDR happen.
I build fast bikes and carbon guitars. Always keep a number of "demos" on hand.
May have to broom a few?

When my wife wanted a Wrangler in 2015. I sold my own personal bike I swore I wouldn't sell for 6500 and it only took a week.
My bicycles are worth more than my Harley or at least easier to sell quick.

There should be a straight up "FXDR" thread.

Not a "what Billy-Bob and his cronies don't like about it" thread!

When I first laid eyes on the long awaited 999 Ducati ( replaced the 996)/ I like most everybody else thought. "what were they thinking"?

After looking at it for a while it started to grow on me.
HAD to have one. Turned out to be a bad move as I didn't keep it that long.
Had to keep up a stretching routine to even ride it.

I keep Harleys a long time. No doubt this will be the last one ;-)
Maybe if I make it to 70 I will think about a "touring" bike,
maybe they will change the back end to match the newer front???.....NAH

I thought Gomez started one. I agree, there should be a FXDR and Fat Bob thread/sub forum.

I did try, but got to many trolls. So I just wait for post like these and stir the pot.

And I did something to the rear fender... I like it 😁😎
