Yes it will be interesting to see how HD handles their old inventory. My dealer still has an 08 105th RG and an 06 VROD still on the floor. Neither are marked down one cent, no incentive tags or notice of free extras with the bike.
Well They can't sell them for the sticker price without dropping the price to near what the depreciation rate is for that model year. No one would pay $20K for a scoot and then be subject to what could be close to a %50 percent depreciation drop riding it out the door! Some states it is illegal to do so. so they will have to knock a chunk of money off the '06 at least.
Kelly blue book retail for a 2006 V rod w/alarm is $11065
HD is no longer going to produce new motorcycles. They have failed to meet the emissions standards just like the floor sweeps on the Internet predicted.
All motorcycles rolling off the line will be used 09 models.
