I just think it's funny.....I buy a Limited.....for MSRP.....in Savannah, Georgia......I can ride down to Daytona....and the same bike is $3K more.......usually it's only Gas that's higher down there.....

It cost me about $18 dollars in gas to get their on my bike......So by driving to Savannah...someone can save $2982.00......NICE!!!!....oh forgot the round trip.....$2,968.....but the ride back up A1A along the coast was priceless.....

With Harley sales at all time lows any dealer trying to get over MSRP has a death wish.

Good info on Nashua and Seacoast....Nashua HD is only about 5 minutes from my house but I'll avoid them. I suppose Manchester HD is the same deal as I heard maybe the same owners?

Hard to believe that they are are not dealing or budging on prices in this economy while Nault's Honda is spitting bikes out the door left and right .....


I'm in the market for an HD maybe but not at the expense of some dealer giving me the "honor" of forking over MSRP + ... Sounds like Kelly is worth a look..I've bought a few cars from his dealerships and have been treated fair

This particular dealer rings a bell every time a sale is made. That damn bell was rung 3 or 4 times in the hour that I was in there. I knew they had me so I left.

A year later at Nashua HD (also NH) I bought a 2009 RK for MSRP plus $8400 for the same 2006 Dyna.

Find a new dealer and have patience. You'll get your price if it is a fair one.

Good Luck
I't got to be Orlando HD the OP is talking about. They do the "ring the bell" thing also and everybody applauds "Yayyyyy another biker, yayyyyy".

Everything is overpriced so they can pay for the replica "Factory" that the dealership was built to resemble. It's near Disney...So they're really into making sure you get the full Harley "Experience"....It just costs a little more.

A short ride to Seminole, Gator, or Stormy Hill will save you thousands without the "Experience".

Unbelievable! I wouldn't even pay MSRP and I have no problem finding deals under MSRP on bikes, accessories, apparel and parts.
