Sounds like a true ass pounding.  Though, he didn't have to sign up for a loan like that.

If your in the market for a used bike it's a great time to buy.........The bad part is all the crying the sellers are doing over how much money they are losing......LOL

I do feel sorry for the poor bastards that were stupid enough to pay the $2500 to $3500 over MSRP plus all acessory chrome add ons that the dealers were charging for the bikes a few years back and then financing them for ten years @ 10% interest.......Those guys are getting raped when the try to sell now......

I know of a guy here in town that has an 01 Ultra that still owes $10K on the bike...... Paid over $24K .....He's been making over $300 a month payments for 6 years on the bike......another victim of Rossmeyer and Daytona HD...... Daytona HD offered him $5500 as a trade in.............ouch........

I saw this a couple of months ago. Prices were really low. Made me really struggle between another bike (a bagger) and a new (to me) truck.

 

The truck won out. But, I saw some nice bikes at pretty low prices.

It is my belief there will be alot of used HD's coming way down in price simply because alot of bike owners are needing to sell them for cash just to make ends meet these days.. JMO

Wow, talk about the price of used Hawgs dropping like a rock. My chum in San Diego called tonite, and was telling me about a 99 RoadKing police bike went for sale San Jose way for $6000. And an 03' for $9900. At this rate, soon people will be giving you cash to take them away.
