I have never owned a Harley or Indian but have ridden many . just not my thing . I have a few old Hondas and a old bsa and a old kawwi . I sold my Ktm 390 this summer and I will say that was prob my fav bike to date not even close to the fastest but most fun to flip around . I did pick up a retro looking top heavy bike a few mo ago . prob sell it come spring .every old man comes walking over every time I get gas to tell me how they had a triumph back in the day like I give a fuck lol You should give a fuck cause in 30 years you will too.

Angry ginger Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 harleys drop 30-50 percent from sticker depending on how many accessories you got rooked into buying and financing in. When i was looking for a street glide there was a guy who traded his in with 3k miles and 5k+worth of accessories to buy a new 38k CVO bike, some just have money to burn. Buy a 2 year old one then the depreciation after thats pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old indy Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) This discussion comes up almost weekly here. weekend mornings crack me up as four or five of us are out bright and early in the drivways prepping for the days rides, in diferent directions lol. the guy up the road still hasent gotten past the wheelie/ burn out stage so hes on crotch rocket rice,fast as shit but still at the deathwish stage.no concernes for comfort. I have a 2018 FLHX/street glide fairly well accessorized at this point. i love it, comfortable, plenty of power and smooth and steady on the hiway. the guy to the left across the street has a 17 gold wing, with EVERything it could have on it. the guy directly across the street has a 17 harley ultra/ limited fairly well equipped and is a ride captain for some club that really rides, a lot! he swears by the bike over his last couple big jap cruisers. then the guy two doors down from me has a 2018 Indian cheif, loaded up, nice blue paint. the Indian is cool looking but the faring is sorta goofy imo, they did make the bags larger this year so they fit the bikes look much better than in the past. and having options with either the classic front fender or not is a huge plus imo. the owner traded in his harley for it after being taiked into a test drive, he says in leaps and bounds its a better ride than his last four Harleys...? Hes constantly saying i should test ride a new one, i would trade up right away.. the goldwing guy rides 4k a year and thinks hes a serious rider.. that thing mights well be a car,,,one could prolly spend 10 hours a day on it and suffer no fatigue. nice for touring no doubt! it comes down to what type of riding you plan on doing imo Edited October 3, 2019 by old indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
