Default Looking for what others are paying for new bikes

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2010 heritage softail. The best i've found here is $ 18,400 otd bone stock. What are they selling for elsewhere ?

I bought my 2010 Rocker a couple of weeks ago. Checked four dealers not any would sell under MSRP.

I would just chck with other dealers in your area and see what thay will offer. It depends on what is the hot seller this month. It is strange as I was at 3 dealers in the last month and only one had a Cross Bones and they had 2 on the floor, no one else had one. Some dealers sell more curisers than Softails

Seems like all of my local dealers are selling msrp plus all the other BS that they add on. the only bargaining is on accessories or shop service. i was hoping that they would be a little more willing to deal, but no go. Guess it's riding season

Paid a bit under $16,500 the end of March for 2010 Softail Heritage, Black, California Emissions, Theft System, Wheel Option, Freight, and Dealer Prep. Also 20% discount on first parts order and 10% for year (but the 10% comes with the free HOG membership). Exactly the same offer from three dealers here in the Los Angeles area. Some dealers essentially told me to go and take flying **** but three were more than happy to take my money and make the sale.

Calculated in $ a 2010 FLSTC Heritage Classic Softail will cost little over $31000 in Sweden OTD.

You guys have it good....

Who says Iīm complaining just stating facts
$51,500 is alot for a standard bike, but then again I donīt know how much the average Joe makes a month. Average monthly pay for a "normal" working gov employee is about $3500-4000 here. Just for reference.

Average family income here is about $800 a month. But there are some very very wealthy individuals around too. (no I'm not one of them, I'm from EU and retired here in this wonderful - apart from bike prices - place)

Part of the high cost of the bike is the $5,000 for the license to import one, the 100% tax levied on anything to do with bikes, and on top of that you have the import duties. Same goes for parts, 3 times the cost from the US.

On the other hand, the hourly rate at the dealer for working on the bike is $15/hour.
