You people nit-pick every little detail. But I guess that is the nature of the forum beast.
Let's be honest, they are taking advantage of a dying breed before the hype plays itself out
Ummmm excuse me? I sure hope you are talking about the Corporate RUB's that buy so they can say they have one but never ride.
I believe HD prices will continue to come down now. Like it or not they are again on the start up competition with the new Indian Company.
Oh sure, annual production is a hundred to one right now but that is still start up numbers. Some of the "rich folks" are looking at The Indian just so they can say they have something different.
I know it is really not the same Company, but from a Corporate Sales side, Harley must take the position of Microsoft and make sure they keep Indian as an Apple.
If the "rich folks" take a shine to Indian, then the folks left to buy from HD ain't going to put up with the high prices.
The V-Rod is selling for about the same as a Chief. At $24k, many of the folks with that kind of $$$ will opt for The Chief. ( Cruiser vs Rocket.)
Many here ain't interested in The Indian and for good reasons, but you can bet HD Sales is.
+++++
This may not be the best site to peddle your inflated used bikes on. Even if ya get some kid reading it thinking it is a good deal, too many old timers will speak up. We like the folks here and share a lot of information between us.
It's one thing for a guy to go into a HD dealership and get clipped a bit but at least wise they have some overhead to deal with. Also, many end up buying because they can at least wise get financed and clipped a bit more by HD Credit.
Wish ya well in your venture, and you will no doubt find some lame to buy into your "great deals", just don't think that dog will hunt here.
IMHO LOL!
