Default 2019 Pricing Over MSRP?

Went in to order a 2019 Ultra Limited in Vivid Black and had one dealership pricing the bike at $800 over MSRP. What have you guys been getting quoted? OTD was coming out to over $32,000.

What have your experiences been?

Man, talk about a dealer out of touch with the market conditions.........................
Here's Harley Davidson Corp., trying their best to increase sales and bring in new riders, and this idiot dealer is listing bike prices $800 over MSRP. No wonder Harley is having trouble. Did this guy JUST buy the Franchise and think it was 1990?

An old story. Every year, when the new models first come out, you hear stories of dealers selling at over MSRP. First adopters eager for the latest and greatest are sometimes willing to overpay when inventory is new and low.
Blame it on a dealer if you want but MSRP is only a suggested price and if some buyers are foolish enough to pay more then why not?
Give it a few weeks and prices will stabilize as dealer inventory fills in. Unless of course there's something rare, limited or particularly desirable that can command top dollar.

Those days are long gone. With Honda dealers offering 4k off a new goldwing Harley and it's dealers better come back to earth and wake up. Make a good deal or loose a sale.

As long as they find suckers to accept it, why should they change their approach?

Payment example based on MSRP of $23,500 + $450 Destination at $23,950 with a $4,700 down payment and an APR of 3.74% for 72 months financing at $15.53 a month for every $1,000 financed. Payments DO NOT include tax, title, license and local state/county taxes that may be due at signing....

I do like the retro look Honda Monkey and the Super Cub has an appeal...then again You meet the nicest people on a Honda after all.

Sorry I was wrong. Check our Honda of Russellville Ak. New Goldwing dct in custom green paint 27.700 plus tax of course. On the Gl1800 riders forum folks are making deals 4k off or more,out the door. That's a good deal anyway you look at it. Differently not paying over.

Murf, you weren't wrong. Russellville Honda and Southern Honda in Chattanooga both take off about $4000 off the new Wings. Folks are buying them at $24,500 all day LONG!
That $27,700 bike is a custom paint job, and it's till below the Price of a Limited.
