Just reading this makes me throw up in my mouth a bit. Don't get me wrong, I spent $32K and some change on Ginger....most I've ever spent on anything with just two wheels....and after 2 1/2 years, I'm still tickled with her. But three of the four '15 CVO's are within a wild hair of the $40K mark. At what point do we stop answering the price increase call?
Was out yesterday visiting SMHD on a very nice riding day in East Tennessee. They had two new left over '14 CVO's at a discount (the white softail and the green SERK....the MoCo musta either built WAY to many in the green, people are still leary of a green motorcycle or it's just the color folks don't motivate to as this color seems to be the one remaining in most dealerships...I think it's a very nice color, BTW). Anyway, they also had a couple nice used ones. One blue '11 SEEG with 5,900 miles on the clock for $29K and one red '14 SE Limited with 6,400 miles on the clock for $35K. The '14 is a "steal" at that price and mileage level. Already $3-4K less than new list and it's still basically a new scooter. At the current outrageous price point and sure to be greatly increased future price increase, It makes so much more sense these days to wait until the new has worn off the current model year OR watch the books/dealerships for the one your really want and get the used trailer/garage queen for much less than list.
OK, off my soapbox.
