We Think We Pay Alot!!
« on: November 21, 2007, 01:40:03 AM »

I'm in Singapore visiting my kids for the Thanksgiving. So we made a trip to the Singapore Harley Dealer, very nice dealership and quite a few bikes on the showroom floor. They have a new 08 Twilight Blue/Candy Cobalt FLHRSE4 for a mere $67,777.00 Sing or $46,742.00 US. They have a 38% tax on new Motorcycles. They were also working on a Black Diamond/Silver Dust in the service department. There were approx 6 service techs.
They sell approx 150 bikes a year.  I asked about CVO sales and they sell mostly Roadkings and Softail Springers. They did not order any Dyna's. Only sell at most 3 Ultra a year.

A lot of that is due to the value of the US dollar plummeting over seas in the last quarter.  The only upside is that the US tourist industry is booming with all of the foreigners able to spread there currency further.

After a few HD dealers see this (Daytona?) their price points moved even further upwards.....

WOW!  That's a lot of Kroners (did I spell that right?) 

Welcome to the sight.  You'll have to post picks touring the fjords when you get it!

Do you know if that 38% is sales or import tax?  :confused5:

It's 36,795 euros in France or 54,456 $ for you in France
The HD's prices do not reduce despite the parity.

So I guess we'll have to stay home this summer with our weak little dollar.  And I was so looking forward to a $7.50 espresso shot on the Champs Elysees

At those prices a stinky cheese lunch in France must run about $50.
