ABS bikes delayed till december?
Was at the dealer today looking for a ultra with ABS and the General manager said the ABS bikes are delayed till december. He was unsure as to why. Seems a little far fetched to me. Anybody else heard anything about this or is he just trying to sell current inventory with this story? Is ABS worth the wait or is it hype and not needed?

He also said That Harley has cut production and that there will be a price increase in late december or january. Said it happens every year that way. The new models start out cheaper and the the price goes up. Didn't seem that way last year. Seems around here they got cheaper as the year went into spring and summer. B.S. or fact?

Alright guys I work for a dealer and sales are slow. It is true that ABS bikes are delayed but I have not heard as late as dec. This is the first price increase from HD of any significance since 03.I have an ULTRA that was suppose to ship on 28 aug and I have not seen it and cannot get a response on it. Production has been scaled back. All dealers have a lot of 105 bikes because they are building them up front and will not build any more after 31 december. I dont think you will see a price increase in jan and it is not true that Harley always does this. Hope this helps.

I just heard there laying people off because of slow sales and closing some plants for a week or two after thanksgiving. I maybe glad I couldn't work out a trade.We were 2 grand apart. I wanted ABS and they have none anyway. Nice bikes it looks like. Maybe in the spring, if I still have a job. No, I don't work for HD.
