I agree, that's why I sold my 2017 Harley Road King Special that had $300 a month payments and bought a 14 Valkyrie for 7K cash.
I just don't ride enough (Maybe 2k a year) to justify a payment and full coverage insurance.
But its really what ever makes you happy.
Congrats to the poster on his 17 GW.
congrats and hope you got HUGE discounts off as well.
IMO only though, never understood paying 20K or more for a NEW cycle driven, for me anyways, for 6-7 months tops riding for one full year when so many used 2003 on ups in good shape are under 10K
