Funny how all the "upgrades" don't mean much on a trade-in but jack up the price once they put the bike out on their lot. Guess they gotta make a buck or two. Sounds to me like you didn't do half bad...other than the Rossmeyer part. Enjoy the new ride!

 

The rule of every business is to make a profit...I'm sure they made money on the deal. The company you work for makes money (hopefully) and that's what keeps you employed....With that said, enjoy the bike and don't look back. Also, I support extended warranties. Not only do they give you peace of mind, they distinguish your bike from someone else's on the resale market since they stay with the bike.

 

Welcome to the cult of the Roadglide owners. You'll know what I mean as time goes on with the RG. IMHO you made a good transition you will never regret. As was said, the dealers have to make 2K or so on the deal, or the doors will close. Ride and enjoy!

 

Don't look back! Look forward to all the FUN your going to have!!!

 

You did fine - the dealer made his profit, you got a great bike. All is well...

 

I think that you did great! Personally, I would have passed on the tire/rim warranty and the extended warranty, but you didn't get overcharged on them - they are what they are. I used to be in the warranty business, and many dealers make as much on the warranty as they do on the vehicle. They don't really pay off unless you have a major repair. However, many people buy them just for the peace of mind.

You will LOVE the Road Glide. I just got back from a 1500 mile, three day trip and the bike was more comfortable than the Gold Wing I traded in for it. Enjoy!

 

Dude just ride and enjoy and thank god you were able to trade your big dog that easy, The chopper market dead

 

I don't think you did that bad on the deal. Go out and enjoy your new ride.

 

Post some pics! Sounds great. Enjoy and forget the warranty... if you are going to do any engine work, just cancel it and get your money back.

 

Which one would you like??
