Wow!!! The response was overwhelming and some great advice/opinions. Can't respond to everyone individually, but know I read all replies. Bubbie, when you say the 09's don't have CATs, I assume you're referring to catalytic converters. Do the new ones have them??? I'm also assuming the bike would be better off without them. Correct??? Did Harley have to add them for EPA regs??? Probably makes the bike hotter, but do they do anything positive for the overall performance??? And I hadn't given much thought to a slightly used bike, but might look into it. I have briefly looked at a few late model used ones when at my local dealer to get parts, and I don't see a whole lot of price difference between low mileage used and new. If the price difference isn't that big, I'd rather have new, but maybe I can bargain better on used prices. I know they don't budge on MSRP on the new bikes. As far as one person said about going to Paris, Tx, my neighbor bought his '05 Fat Boy and '07 Ultra Classic in East Texas (Longview I think). He compared prices and got a much better deal in the country than in the big city. I even offered to ride his new Ultra home from Longview for him (being the nice guy that I am), but he declined my offer. Think I will go to Longhorn Harley on Demo day and test ride a few. They've always got great parties there on certain Saturdays. Live music, free beer, good looking women, and free demo rides. Sounds like my definition of Heaven. :bigsmiley11:
Thanks again for all opinions/advice. Like I said, my bike is running great, so I'm in no rush to do anything hasty. (not like last year when I stopped off at the Ford dealer to look at new trucks and ended up buying the Mustang on the showroom floor). Still trying to figure out how that happened. :laugh
Not sure why, just do.
