Heading to the dealer to look at 2009 models this evening. I called and the sales guy said they "had a couple". Is it too early, just my dealer or has HD cut back production that much?

 

There was something about production cuts because of an excess stock of 07 and 08.

and the otherside it also depends on the dealer themselves where their stock is and what they can handle of the new models.

the dealers around me (NYC area) already have a bunch in, though not all of the models.

good luck looking

 

local dealer in n.j. only had a couple of touring models. they still have the showroom full of 2008 models plus at least 6 anniversary models. great deals on them!

 

That was the sales pitch I was getting, "have several anniversary models with unique paint scheme" and something about being rare and better get them while I still can. Might look into some 08's, but I doubt I will get any deals like I got in 2006 when the showroom was overflowing.

 

My local dealers have almost nothing but 2009's. What 2008's they have left they are gettin' rid of for up to $1000 off MSRP or $1500 in free accessories.

 

My dealer has maybe a couple left over '08's. They are already running through their alotment of 09's as well, so the supply is not nearly as plentiful as had been in the past. Fat Bob's, Softies and Nightsters are in demand here.

 

Same deal here in the real Vancouver (BC. In Canada.) All 2009's, only 2 2008's left that I know of......they're already making some of the 2009's into demo bikes at the place I go to.

 

One of the new 09s is at my house.

Hey, now! Them's fightin' words!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver,_Washington

"Both cities were named for sea captain George Vancouver, but the Canadian city was not incorporated until 1886, nearly thirty years after Vancouver, Washington, and more than sixty years after the name Fort Vancouver was first used."

Take that!

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

Got Mine! I think one needs to check around at a lot of different Dealers. I found just what I was looking for at Bumbus HD in Murphreesboro, TN an I'm from Chattanooga. Actually feel like Bumpus is pretty good Dealer as well.
