Anybody know of any Harley-related forums?
I'm considering a Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWG).

The downside is 5 years from now that VTX will be selling for 5k dollars while the same Harley will still sell for close to retail.

Because of soaring sales the last few years, the inevitible is starting to happen: almost everyone has one! Dealers who used to have no bikes to sell after February now have bikes left over in November--supply is rapidly catching up to demand, and it's slowly becoming a buyer's market. I've even heard that HD is going to be dropping their retail prices slightly, which of course will cause used prices to drop drastically. And it's already been evident the last few months...only a year ago (in this area anyway), it was difficult to find ANY 2-year old or newer big twin for sale for under $19,000, with the average being about $21,000. Old big twins were $10k for beat up rat bikes. However, the last 6 months I've seen '01's and even '02's going for $15 & $16k pretty routinely. My neighbor could only get $7k for his nearly pristine, 10k mile '76 Superglide. All Sportster prices are down too.
Harley's will ALWAYS hold their value better than most any other bike, but I'm afraid the days of buying one, riding it for 2 years then selling it for enough cash to buy another new one, are about over...

If you're talking to me, I wasn't considering a Sportster. If I get a Harley it'll be a FXDWG.
