Well I seen the bike on Saturday and I'm pretty sure this is my next bike. I was wrong in assuming the bike at Twin Cities HD has EFI for that price because it did not. So I guess they are charging $600 for setup and then the full $320 for freight. Well I think I've crossed them off my list for good this time. The SG they had on the floor wasn't setup at all either. There was plastic still stuck to it and there wasn't even a windshield on it yet. It looked like they rolled it right out of the crate onto the showroom floor. These guys must really think a lot of themselves if they think they can sell a bike for $19k and just put it out on the floor in pieces. The antenna was stuffed horizontal behind the left hard bag and the tires where covered with goop that I assume the MoCo gets on them when mounting the tires. All in all this dealership is NOT impressive.

 

screamn_eagle, Don't know if I would want to post that or not. I agree with Skip, you can usually get a deal on a good used bike, mine was. The dealers do what they want to, some good, some bad, I say if you can find a good one you've done good and hope that you don't have to move.

 

I posted on another thread that I had seen two of these Streetglides last week on vacation. Since then I have seen another one. Harley Davidson of Charleston West Virginia had a Colbolt Blue for 19,800 out the door. Indy West had one with about 250.00 worth of accessories on it for 23,900 plus set up out the door and today my home dealer (Legacy Harley Davidson-Effingham,IL) had two (Black and Black Cherry) for about the same as the West Virginia shop.

I really love this bike. Legacy was in the process of selling the black one when I was leaving today. Most of the dealers I've been in this week have already sold a couple.

Larry,

What accessories are included to make it $3,000.00 over MSRP?

Regards,
Lee Mick


Lee,
Though some of our bikes do have accessories if they are not pre-sold, we
are a fair market value dealer and only sell MSRP to military, firefighters, and
police.

 

Lee,

I'm military, I'll go pick up the bike for you...this guy is a criminal. My dealership down here will sell it at MSRP to you...

Did a little shopping last week. I went to 2 dealers about 50 miles from each other in central Indiana. They each had a black SG on the floor (sweet bike) and each would sell it for MSRP + setup. The west dealer was $300 for setup and the east dealer was $275. The east dealer would discount all add-ons 15% and the west dealer started at 10% but, ended up matching the 15%. Looks like you needn't pay more than list and can deal on the chrome.

Hey Loch.. I too went and saw this visabily dizmal display of the bike.. I couldn't believe they would leave the bike with all of the stickers and no windshield on the floor!! Again, they told me why I don't shop at that dealer....

I did however stop in to the St. Paul Harley on Sat.. And they had ZERO 2006's on the floor.. They said that they should be on the floor sometime this week and to stop back in.. And they are going around MSRP..

TRIPPER.....unfortunatly, it's gonna be hard to get any kind of deal out of Las Vegas HD. They have people that will pay whatever they ask, everyday. Because LV is so remote, they really have the area sewed up. I don't know if the Henderson dealership is any better.
I used to manage the Kawasaki/Honda dealership out on Rancho, and was offered the sales manager position at LV HD at one point. We had our meetings, and I came away definetly not wanting to work for those guys. Call me crazy, but I just can't rip people off day in and day out. Good luck.

 

NFE, FYI, I had a fantastic experiance with ST. Paul Harley two years ago. They fixed my bike at 5:00 on a Saturday afternoon, on July 3rd. Everyone else was closed for the holiday on Sunday and Monday, and they got me going. It's my olny experiance with them since I live about 1,200 miles away, but I thought I would tell you.

 

Does your dealer have an '06 Road Glide in the pipeline? The one I have on order doesn't even ship until the 17th and is about $750 over MSRP which might be worth it because they are the closest stealer around..
