Are we getting robbed for a 2014.....

I bought my 13 the second week of July and I'm fine with it. I got a huge deal on a new bike on something thats proven. Saturday I walked into a different dealer I was trying to deal on used bikes before a I bought new at the local dealer. They had all their used stuff marked way down compared to 5 weeks ago. I laughed cause if they had those prices in July I would have bought used.

The KBB trade-in value for his Street Glide is $16,210, assuming it has ABS and an alarm system. The KBB retail value is $18,335. Yes, dealers are taking advantage of a buying frenzy that is happening the first few weeks of a new model release. Give it about 5-6 months and see if the dealers come back to reality.

The bad news is that the upgrades aren't "worth" anything to a "generic" buyer at the dealership (except when the dealer is selling it!), and 12.5K for a stock 2012 SG with only 10K miles is out of line. But in fact, ANYTHING is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you want to do the legwork to sell the bike yourself, you will very quickly find that the dealer in fact does earn the markup.
Just like anything else: If you have more money than time, go through the dealer. If you have more time than money, sell it yourself for a few bucks more.

was shocked to see how the value has sunk on our bikes due to the new 14's.
By winter it will be over and they will be begging you to buy a new bike.
Don't base your statement on what one salesman told you at one dealership
