Hmmmm? I think I'm seeing an Iron 883 in 2013. Probably a 2010 model,
but $10K for new isn't outa' sight either. I always thought a HD would
be too expensive. But WOW! I'm impressed. :)

I thought some of the prices were lower than I expected, but it all
depends on the value _you_ would receive with that bike. If it fits
what you want it to do, then it's a good deal.

I'll find some way to make it fit my wants. But I'm willing to
compromise some of my, more exotic ideals, for that price. Like, it
won't have to piss and fart. I'll even give up the idea of getting a
good kick every once in a while. :)
I was floored by the prices. I haven't checked a Harley dealer for a
lot longer than I haven't been riding. Never dreamed I'd ever be able
to afford one.
Unless something totally unexpected happens before Aug 2012 you'll be
seeing me on a new one. Worse case would be a 2010 model. One of the
two is definitely in my near future. :)
Thanx for the post that woke me up. :)

As I have often said we live in the golden age of motorcycles. There
is a style of bike out there to feed any two wheeled addiction you
might have.
I have also often said my favorite bike is the one I happen to be
riding at the time.
Shop around, there are lots of terrific bikes on the market.

Yeah, hell, what's a mere two more years of non-riding, right?
