Question No new Roadglides, help or hurt our value?

I too have seen the paper work saying the FLTR is a gonner in 2010. If they are truly gone and don't introduce something like a FLTRU, Ultra version, will our great bikes become treasure or dinosaurs on the market?

Hard to imagine what they have up
their sleeves..........I guess only time
will tell. I'll start paying attention in another
8 to 10 years, as thats when I'll consider
trading for a new one. No reason these motors shouldn't
run strong and dependable for well over 100k miles, with
proper maintenance

I think they would go up in value. They brought the VW bug back. Anyway, Roadglides are great bikes.

There WON'T be a "FLTR"

that doesn't mean there won't be a Road Glide......stay tuned...... What the future holds for our FLTR remains to be seen, as they have always been "limited editions" they will remain popular with a "certain crowd".

Unless I win the lotto, I see no need to worry for a long while, but then I don't get a new bike every year either.
If we can't get 100-150 THOUSAND miles out of the bike....

Very few HDs have any added collector value. FLTRs are not one of them.

Talked to my local HD..confirmed the Road Glide is gone.....then
tried to sale me an '09. I'll bet anyone that a "nicer" Road Glide is in the wings and they want to sale the current models because no one will buy one once the new model comes out... maybe water cooled!!!????

Yup. definate watercooled (YAWN).
If you bought your bike as an investment.....you are ten years too late. Ride it, trade it, sell it and/or buy a new one.
5 years ago my house was worth 140,000.....now? maybe 70,000.
I don't worry about my next house. (someone still owns it or is building it.)
I live in the house and ride the bike I have.

Road Glides are ugly.
