As most have stated the dealers are all claiming exclusivity on the new CVO's and Anniversary bikes. Local dealers in Los Angeles have had about one of each so far that I could find. Price has gone up accordingly. Local dealer got the red fade in and I loved it's looks. I hated my 2016 CVO limited as it sounded like I was on a model A most of the time. I 've had some great HD bikes my 2016 CVO was not one of them. I inquired regarding a trade for the 2018 just based on looks , he wanted crazy money out the door with full warranty of almost 57K. I walked away and told him I'd see him next month after he paid flooring on it and had a chance to dust it off for a few weeks. Next month he lowered the price around 3K and uped his offer on my 2016. Still no deal. Told him Id' stop by at the end of the year to see if he wants to continue to hold on to it going into the new year. Ran into him in November and asked him if he was tired of staring at the red fade bike yet and he waved me in to the dealership and we made a deal for a bit less than 50K out the door with extended warranties etc.
Absolutely love the bike ! love the red fade color and I never would have believed the difference both in the M8 and the new 117. Dropped a ton of cash for sure both in the lost $$ on the low miles 2016 POS and the new 2018 but it doesn't hurt as bad because i love the bike .
Been back to the dealership a few times and amazed how many late model used CVO's he has in his used bike inventory. And some bargains on low mileage , nice looking CVO's. Especially when they are getting MSRP and better for the new ones. Several 2 and 3 year old CVO's with less than 10K miles on them around 30K asking.
