My dealer has a couple of 08's left. The rest are all 09's of all models.

Same with our dealers. There's 4 dealerships in my area I frequent and its all 2009's now. Maybe a few 08's here and there.

Was doing test rides on 09's,the only one I could get on was a new V-Rod,boy that thing sucked big time.My hands were numb in about 5 minutes,riding position really bad,wonder why they would do that to a fine bike like that.Did not look easy to change bars or a windshield,it also seemed to vibrate a lot till you were up to some speed,couldn't see out of the mirrors half the time.

I kid, I kid. A name is just consonants and vowels, a city is much more than that. I'd love to stop by and check out your Vancouver sometime the next trip I make down the coast. I'm sure it's a great place.

Now back to those 2009 models.......

Went in looking for an 08 and there were NONE. Was too late, supposedly. All 09's at a higher price, but not that many of them. Strange that a whole floor of 08's vanished in a week, replaced by half as many 09's. I think they are hiding the 08's upstairs.

I have not seen a 08 at the dealer since August. All 2009 models on the floor now, some used bikes mixed in to make the showroom look full.

Our dealer down the street has some but not the full line.

Has an orange and black SE Road Glide that I'm trying not to buy.

110 C.I. 6 speed ect. ect.

Yeh,

I know overpriced but the potential...

It all comes down to Location!

Remember, not all areas of the country are affected by this "bad" economy in the same way.
Some dealers are not moving bikes very fast, and still have plenty of '08's around. Until they move them out, they won't have many '09's available.

Then in other area's, all the '08's are gone and they are even having a hard time keeping any '09's in stock.
