Used market is where its at. My pops just bought a 13 Street Glide with 9k miles on it for only $9k. Just 2 weeks ago. Previous owner dropped it once an got scared. Never rode it again. Pops has already put 3k miles on it since he's gotten it
Can't agree more, my dad just got a 13 Street Glide as well, with the good twin cam with 12K miles for $8,000. It's mint and what a bike for the money. I still like my FXLRS but you can get a bunch of bike for not much money.
So I picked up a bike last year when my iron 1200 got totaled. I vowed to never buy another bike from an HD dealership after that. Ended up picking up a used 2009 dyna low rider with 10k miles on it for $8,500. It needed some love but she’s getting dialed! Some of these prices that Harley is asking is insane. Glad you got such a deal on yours when you did!
I literally just got home with a new 2024 street bob paid 21 plus a 2k down payment unless they take that 2k out the price idk 🤷♂️ interest at 8.xx% 6 years. But also includes gap insurance, extended warranty for 4 years and wheel and tire for 4 years. More than I wanted to pay for but as soon as I got home the abs light started blinking smh
I am 73 years old and I have never bought a new car, truck or motorcycle will not pay the price. My last purchase was the newest vehicle I've ever bought. In March of 2018 I purchased a 2017 Nissan Altima with 13,000 miles, it now has 105.000 Mi with no problems whatsoever. And I saved thousands.
I'll keep my 2011 DYNA street bob, bought it new and put in the 110 tire shredder kit around 2017. Makes 106hp/122tq so it's more than fast enough for me and it's obviously paid for. The only new Harley i'd consider "trading up" for is the low rider st, but I'm cheap so there's that!!!
I got the 2024 street bob and absolutely love it.!! It's fast as Hell. I've easley gotten up to 112 mph and it was still pulling hard. It will smoke the tire through 3rd gear and corners so damn well. The RPM range is unbelievable 3rd gear @5,500 rpm is a blast.
I agree, there are many used or new bikes on many websites that have very low mileage and the shipping cost are very low. I got very lucky as Harley Davidson and my Dealership bought back my 2022 Nightster and gave me a great deal on my 2023 Street Bob.
I just got a 24 streetbob but the dealership had a promo of sorts going on (end of season) I got 4 grand off the bike 🤘🏼🤘🏼 beautiful deal all taxes paid with that discount and lower than msrp after everything I was EXTREMELY LUCKY
It is a nice looking ride regardless of price. I've been riding cruisers for 43 years now. Only time I came close to buying a Harley was a few years ago and it was a Street Bob. Didn't pull the trigger on that sale. Ended up with an Indian Super Chief Limited with stage 2 and custom Lloydz tune. I'm definitely never dropping a dime on HD after riding the Indian. But that Street Bob is a sweet looking bike. Ride safe and enjoy the ride.✌️
My perspective at age 72. BSEE, MBA. The problem isn’t that things are getting more expensive, the problem is that dollars have declined in value and purchasing power. And that’s because of failed governmental fiscal policy. We now have $34T in debt and are adding a couple $Trillion every year. That money is being printed out of thin air by the Fed. Net effect, a dilution of the value of the dollars that are already in circulation. Looks like inflation, but it’s really a debasement of our currency. I’ve never been more disappointed in our government than I am these days. Feel especially sorry for my little grandkids. The financial future of America is bleak.
Damn well said! And how are libs going to pay for all these illegals coming in? Sadly I believe they will find a way to tax the hell out of peoples 401k and such so it’s almost worthless. Social Security will soon be a thing of the past. And these people get away with it. So corrupt it makes want to puke.
You hit the nail right on the head! This government is robbing us blind and they do not represent the people, it is organized crime. Inflation is a cover for the demise of the currency. Take care Brother!
Well, the situation here in Europe isn’t much different. For a 18.000 dollar Harley, here in the Netherlands we have to pay 28.000 dollar, I’m not joking
That is a lot of dollaros. Here in Sweden a new 2023 114 Street Bob you can buy for $17.000 and a 2024 goes for just under $19.000. Those prices includes sales taxes of 25%. Anyway, I still like the vibrations from my Dyna Fat Bob, so I'm good for now.
Harley Street Bob here in Canada is 20k was looking for one but got lucky look at a add where a dealership offer a Triumph Rocket 3 GT 2500cc or in Harley number a 153 cubic inches with 165 HP and 163 FT-LBS of torque and sell it for 20k so i said bye bye Harley and bought the Rocket and man its a beast of a cruiser. Ride safe and hello from Montréal Québec
yeah I just bought a 2024 Soft Tail and woke up the day after in the middle of the night with cold sweats and panic but then I saw the bike and felt a little bit better
Ever since HD switched to M8 softail platform for Street Bob, I've been telling everybody price structure doesn't make sense. The value is just not there. Especially for '24. But it looks like used HDs dealers didn't get the message on inventory. But don't worry, they will :)
I got lucky on mine. Ended up paying 3200 on a 2006 street bob. Guy couldn't get it to start. Told him i would buy it for parts. His gf just wanted it outta the garage. Ended up just needing to swap out the battery on the security fob that he didnt realize he set the summer before. Has high miles but the previous owner took complete care of it, binder eith all maintenance and all. Thr fuy i biguht it drom maybe put 100 miles on it.
Just seen the price upswing on the Low Rider S. Base was $18,199 in '23, now it's $19,999. WoW! Harley is going to send a lot of potential customers elsewhere.
@@philipwoodacre1644 not really.. people in the market for Harleys will just buy a used Harley. Indian doesn't even come close especially because Indian charges just as much as Harley Davidson does and outside of the sport chief, they're all but ugly
Just got a “24” street bob, personally the price didn’t exactly bother me seeing as how I wanted a brand new bike for the simple fact that it’s my daily and I have an exact vision of how I want it to turn out.
I have a 22 RKS - I'm glad I snagged it when I did. Yes, used is almost always best (like my first bike) but I really wanted a bike that was mine from the start.
My dealer tried taking me off my 03 Heritage Softail Classic 100 year anniversary edition and put me on a 2019 Street Bob,hated the bike,I’m middle aged and the bike I think,was made for the younger guys,it’s got speed and power,and I later found out,an adjustable rear end,I took her back and got back on my Heritage,I’m happy with the sound,look and just what the older bikes represent
A month ago, I ended up getting side swipped on my BMW R18 by a full-time SUV. As I layed in the road I thought while in severe pain, glad I ride with full protection. I awoke later in the ER my right shoulder taking the biggest hit still has soft tissue damage. My bike well the panzer pulled through with only $15,000 damage mostly scratches. I love this bike any other might not have survived what happened. Sadly due to the shoulder damage I might have to get a different ride. Due to the vibration that the R18 has in the handlebars area. It is a sad feeling this. However lesson learned get a MIPS helmet mine saved my brain. I have been looking at the Street Bob or the Breakout as the vibration in the bars seems to be better.
If I was going to get a Street Bob, I would probably get a 2016. The reason for the 2016 year? It is the oldest year Street Bob available on CycleTrader for my state. The difference between new and old are mostly paint colors. 2016 Suggested List Price $17,199, but on CycleTrader is $10,997 which seems like a decent price, but I am sure the "dealership" charges would show up before the bike is off the lot. The best part is that the bike already has all the "upgrades" that most people get. An aftermarket seat, exhaust, sissy bar, and engine guards with highway pegs to rest your feet during long rides.
I agree 100% with you on buying used. I've been looking for one of these 2022 or newer but haven't bought one yet cuz I'm seeing Heritage Classics going for about the same price. Not interested in a Heritage but wondering why these aren't selling for under 10k if you can get a Heritage for 12k ish? Love the mag wheels they put on the 22 and newer.
There are so many low mile used HD's out there it makes no sense to buy new. There is a 2021 Street Bob at a dealer near me with 600 miles on it for $12k.
@@leebrewer7394 well, I went with a slightly steeper gearing ratio, which translates to a bit more aggressive acceleration while losing a bit of top speed. But I mostly did it for aesthetic reasons, though I dare say chain maintenance is likely easier than replacing a belt (not that you need to very often but still).
Here in Australia a 2024 street bob is less than 25k ride away. A second hand 22 - 23 street bob is 22-25 k before tax / stamp duty. So backwards here!
Same with NZ in early Jan a dealership offered me a new 2023 street glide for about 23k it was a 2 week special, with the exchange rate it was a good deal when you look at the second hand market here.
Here in FL my Low Rider S was like 19 msrp. Paid 26 out the door after taxes n "fees". Ridiculous. They wasn't coming down a penny off price. I had to walk out. Came back and they finally came off cpl hundred.
I got a 23 Indian chief bobber with abs and red paint for 15.8k. It’s got the smaller 111ci engine instead of the 116. But yeah for 2k I got it modded with cams, intake, 2-1 exhaust and tune. Harley dealer markups were crazy. I originally went in to see a street bob but yeah I saved a solid 5k. That’s a whole 30%. Name alone is just not enough
I had a ‘19 FXBB (industrial grey denim) then got a ‘21 FXBBS (baja orange). I love these bikes, but I feel like Harley is trying to push everyone onto the Low Rider S with the continual price increases. They even dropped some prices this year, yet the SB gets another increase.
I’ll be honest I’m planning on trading in my 2023 nightster for a street bob and I haven’t even been riding a year yet, the only thing is that I want the orange one. I don’t even see these riding in my area to be honest, except when I go to the local Harley dealer
I love your videos! I got my street bob last year, and I know I paid way too much but I love it. Tested a lot but it was the one that called to me. If I did not have mine I would look for a used one for sure
No on the street bob being the new sportster ..They are heavier therefore not as nimble on the corners.The sportster is lighter handle in the Twisties. and if you put a 1250 or a 1275 top end kit and cams they are still a lot cheaper than a street bob .The prices on a good low mileage sportster is a lot lower than a street bob..Period...
The market is collapsing in prices for all 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Harley’s! Tempted to add a heritage or Street Bob to my garage. Have a 2018 RG. Also, sport bike dealerships that sell traded-in Harley’s sell them CHEAP (aka $12,000-$13,000). Thanks!
I bought my 2022 street bob new here in Cali for 19,600. I love the bike I put all the upgrades on it but I’m kinda wanting to trade it for a low rider ST.
I’ve got an 04 sporty with a stage 4 hammer 1275 and tons of stuff to make it comfy for all day runs. Was entertaining idea of adding a bike just because ya only live once but won’t consider anything that has a smaller fuel tank than my sportys 4.5 gal. I like the 2022 Indian chieftain base model but need to get out and test ride one. The street Bob doesn’t tickle me at all with that small fuel tank. ✌️
You can get a brand new T120 stealth with all the accessories, Kineo spoked tubeless wheels, and still save money. Of course it comes to personal preferences, but just saying. The Street Bob is cool though.
It's a shell game. These past few years, they've had a surcharge and high delivery charges. Now, they've dropped those down and pushed it into the MSRP. You ended up paying the same high price no matter the MSRP. Again, a shell game. Harley is well-versed in trickery with prices. Dealers are definitely trained to play the shell game and get you to sign and through their credit company. Beware.
There’s a dealership here in NJ that got busted for this and it had a class action lawsuit filed against it by all its customers, my brother was one of those who joined the suit. He just got a check from HD because they lost the lawsuit.
Harleys are way to expensive. We are in the UK, still charged top dollar and there made in Thailand. Won't be buying a Harley again. Feel like Iv'e been ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡
I bought a used Fat Bob in November for $11k. My local dealership is super fantastic and it was a great sales experience. They are family owned and very community oriented. Harley has priced bikers out of the market and cater to the rich. Their board needs to go and they need to start making bikes that the common man can afford. I appreciate the tech in their touring bikes, but there is no justifying their prices. So they bored out the cylinders a little, so what. The engine design is almost the same as it was 100 years ago. Harley has lost its way.
I got the 2020 off a used lot in 2019. 500 miles, saved a few bucks. So remember, if you like it, someone else got it and changed their minds. Still new, but considered used. Great bike, shit price.
Meh, they were just a really good value in the past. One can add passenger stuff, some aftermarket bags, and a windshield relatively cheaply and you've essentially got a Heritage which sells for a whole lot more. I know, I just bought one. I do prefer floorboards and bigger fenders to keep the grime down, but that that's a lot of coin for those. But yeah, if you can pick up an leftover, that's always the best way to go particularly with HD as nothing much aside from paint is likely to change.
Also people that post prices on Facebook are posting them higher than they are willing to take cause they know they will be talked down on it. Unless it say firm then offer 1000 less they come back 500 less you say 800 and hold out your hand. 9-10 times they will shake it.
Honestly I think they do it because it gets closer to a street glide price or road glide Lowrider ST... Makes people think well I've only spend this much more than I'll get into something with more options. I love the street Bob myself I have an Iron 8 83 it cost me like close to 12 out the door in 18. If I ever traded it in it would be for a street bob
I opted for a 23’ softail std for 13k and spent a few grand making it how I like and it looks better than a street bob imo. Exhaust, faring, seat and a little bling and I’m very happy. I wanted a street glide but them MF’rs are crazy for what they are asking.
Looking at the used market for sure. You can easily find low mileage bikes only a few years old at good prices. The depreciation will be a lot less since its already used as well
A few months ago i bought a 24 FatBoy. Had the tail lights moved for the QD sissybar. Not feeling this bike and looked at 2 street bobs today. Both 22’ both for around 14k. One with 1800 miles. I know im gonna take a beating on my fatboy. Paid cash. All total $26,848.96 What a waste
I have a 2017 roadster, it's my 5th sportster! Haha I'm finally ready for a more comfy bigger cruiser and now they just cost soooooo much for not much. Where you stoked when you got rid of yours to the 114?
im hesitating between street bob and lowrider S... the big priority for me is comfort (i have to let go of my sportster s due to back problems) the pricetag difference is big, around 5k€ here in Belgium. I love both bikes, im a tad more attracted to the streetbob with orange but im a bit worried about the suspension/saddle cuz there is no demobike in stock to test it out. ill be testing the lowrider next week. As for the increases in price... idk man, i think its just economy crisis... have you seen the car market? its way worse there :D Also the drop in price you mention on the nightster but increas on streetbob... i think thats just a question of popularity on the models...
Since they shuttered the dealership I bought from I'm not inclined to traversing the 20 miles across the Pittsburgh shooting gallery to buy anything besides parts and oil. I even get the parts online anymore.
I go everywhere with my Harley. I was in ahus Denmark in 1999.. I send my motorbike from the states. Travel around with it. I couldn’t believe the prices of Harley Davidson’s at the dealer in ahus . At the time. I was told of course it’s double tax, etc. Just the crazy price coming from an American.
Come on, that price is nothing. Plus you don't have to pay MSRP. I bought my bike and got $4,700.00 off the base price. Never pay full price!!! Prices go up due to increases in production costs...or so they claim!
Hey, thanks for the video. Here's my deal, I had my 2022 Fatboy stolen by some POS and it's gone, I had theft insurance on it and I get $5000 cash right, wrong, the dealer LIED to me and it's $5000 toward the purchase of a new Harley. I was going to just say forget it but now I"m thinking of a new Harley to get but I want LOW payments. So, I have $5000 for a down payment, not so great credit and I'd like to get into a new Harley. Would you have any suggestions on which Harley to get? I was looking at the 2024 Street Bob but you say don't buy it for $16,999. In my current situation would you now say buy it or would you suggest a different Harley? If I don't use the $5000 credit in 55 days I lose it. How about the Sportster S?, Is it too small for a guy who's 5 10 and 1/2? I'm sorry for all the questions but I need help and I was hoping you might find the time to answer my too many questions.
I completely agree. I have a 22 Street Bob that I bought 02/22. I traded in a 2016 Sportster 48 that I paid $6500 for. Dealer gave me $10k in trade in. OTD price on the Bob was $18k but with that $10k trade I couldn’t say no. Only reason I got it tbh. It’s a sweet bike but considering a Rebel 1100 is $11k and comes with ABS and cruise control… the value in these Street Bobs just isn’t there
I love my 22 street bob! If anyone is interested in one the dealership I got mine at has a new 2022 fastback blue sitting in their used lot for only 13k.
lol 😂 all my HD are 20years old or older . Haven’t been into a dealership since bought last new bike 1993 . Will never walk into another HD Dealership again .
Used market is where its at. My pops just bought a 13 Street Glide with 9k miles on it for only $9k. Just 2 weeks ago. Previous owner dropped it once an got scared. Never rode it again. Pops has already put 3k miles on it since he's gotten it
Definitely the way to go

Hell yeah that's what's up! 💯
That will be a Fun mod project! Kudos
I paid $17,999 for a "23" Street Bob. In Black. Out the door was $21k and change. Luv it and its paid for. More $ than I wanted to spend
A nightster special cost 24k here in Michigan. But the MSRP is 15k....... This is crazy
Same year and Exact same price I paid for mine. Love my street bob.
@@khrisstake2210 That is insane. Another reason why Harley cannot get new riders.

I agree 100% with you on buying used. I've been looking for one of these 2022 or newer but haven't bought one yet cuz I'm seeing Heritage Classics going for about the same price. Not interested in a Heritage but wondering why these aren't selling for under 10k if you can get a Heritage for 12k ish? Love the mag wheels they put on the 22 and newer.
There are so many low mile used HD's out there it makes no sense to buy new. There is a 2021 Street Bob at a dealer near me with 600 miles on it for $12k.
Definitely agree 👍
My local dealer has a 2019 street bob for 10k...it has 50k fucking miles on it.
Did you buy it
I'm happy with my 2022 Street Bob... just picked up a chain drive conversion kit for mine that I'll be installing in the spring
For what reason can I ask, chain maintenance sucks. Chains and belt do not slip so with appropriate gearing same speed?
@@leebrewer7394 well, I went with a slightly steeper gearing ratio, which translates to a bit more aggressive acceleration while losing a bit of top speed. But I mostly did it for aesthetic reasons, though I dare say chain maintenance is likely easier than replacing a belt (not that you need to very often but still).
@@cjhmdm Gotcha, thanks.
Here in Australia a 2024 street bob is less than 25k ride away. A second hand 22 - 23 street bob is 22-25 k before tax / stamp duty. So backwards here!
Same with NZ in early Jan a dealership offered me a new 2023 street glide for about 23k it was a 2 week special, with the exchange rate it was a good deal when you look at the second hand market here.
Here in FL my Low Rider S was like 19 msrp. Paid 26 out the door after taxes n "fees". Ridiculous. They wasn't coming down a penny off price. I had to walk out. Came back and they finally came off cpl hundred.
I got a 23 Indian chief bobber with abs and red paint for 15.8k. It’s got the smaller 111ci engine instead of the 116. But yeah for 2k I got it modded with cams, intake, 2-1 exhaust and tune. Harley dealer markups were crazy. I originally went in to see a street bob but yeah I saved a solid 5k. That’s a whole 30%. Name alone is just not enough
I’ll stay with my 2014 Street Bob with the 103. Found it used, stock and with 1,400 hundred miles on it in 2019, so I bought it and made it mine.
I had a ‘19 FXBB (industrial grey denim) then got a ‘21 FXBBS (baja orange). I love these bikes, but I feel like Harley is trying to push everyone onto the Low Rider S with the continual price increases. They even dropped some prices this year, yet the SB gets another increase.
I agree trying to push people to the bigger bikes
I’ll be honest I’m planning on trading in my 2023 nightster for a street bob and I haven’t even been riding a year yet, the only thing is that I want the orange one. I don’t even see these riding in my area to be honest, except when I go to the local Harley dealer
I would recommend the street Bob over the nightster
I love your videos! I got my street bob last year, and I know I paid way too much but I love it. Tested a lot but it was the one that called to me. If I did not have mine I would look for a used one for sure
Thanks! Glad you like the bob!
No on the street bob being the new sportster ..They are heavier therefore not as nimble on the corners.The sportster is lighter handle in the Twisties. and if you put a 1250 or a 1275 top end kit and cams they are still a lot cheaper than a street bob .The prices on a good low mileage sportster is a lot lower than a street bob..Period...
i heard sportster suspensions were awful ...unless you have great pavement you'll beat your kidneys out.
I was going for a new one but now I think I will look for used. Plenty of them out there. Thanks for the video.
The market is collapsing in prices for all 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Harley’s! Tempted to add a heritage or Street Bob to my garage. Have a 2018 RG. Also, sport bike dealerships that sell traded-in Harley’s sell them CHEAP (aka $12,000-$13,000). Thanks!
I bought my 2022 street bob new here in Cali for 19,600. I love the bike I put all the upgrades on it but I’m kinda wanting to trade it for a low rider ST.
I’ve got an 04 sporty with a stage 4 hammer 1275 and tons of stuff to make it comfy for all day runs. Was entertaining idea of adding a bike just because ya only live once but won’t consider anything that has a smaller fuel tank than my sportys 4.5 gal. I like the 2022 Indian chieftain base model but need to get out and test ride one. The street Bob doesn’t tickle me at all with that small fuel tank. ✌️
You can get a brand new T120 stealth with all the accessories, Kineo spoked tubeless wheels, and still save money. Of course it comes to personal preferences, but just saying. The Street Bob is cool though.
Yeah triumphs comparable models usually seem cheaper
Hey Moto Jawn that's is a great question you just brought up . Is the street bob the new sportster. That would be a awesome video to do on that topic.
Been thinking about that
i have to agree with the notion that the street bob is the new sporty, the actual revolution max sporty doesnt sell well.
It's a shell game. These past few years, they've had a surcharge and high delivery charges. Now, they've dropped those down and pushed it into the MSRP. You ended up paying the same high price no matter the MSRP. Again, a shell game. Harley is well-versed in trickery with prices. Dealers are definitely trained to play the shell game and get you to sign and through their credit company. Beware.
That's a really good point too
There’s a dealership here in NJ that got busted for this and it had a class action lawsuit filed against it by all its customers, my brother was one of those who joined the suit. He just got a check from HD because they lost the lawsuit.
@@dyna_zero0385oh man, what dealership?
Which dealership was invoked in the lawsuit?
@@jonnymac8925 think it used to be called Liberty
Harleys are way to expensive. We are in the UK, still charged top dollar and there made in Thailand. Won't be buying a Harley again. Feel like Iv'e been ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡
Dang
Dealer near me has a '21 on their site with 1892 mi for $9844. Non ABS model I'm guessing since not listed as having it.
Do a price jump comparison on a Yamaha tw200. No changes in 30 yrs. I bought one new for 1600.00. Now they're 5000.00
I bought a used Fat Bob in November for $11k. My local dealership is super fantastic and it was a great sales experience. They are family owned and very community oriented. Harley has priced bikers out of the market and cater to the rich. Their board needs to go and they need to start making bikes that the common man can afford. I appreciate the tech in their touring bikes, but there is no justifying their prices. So they bored out the cylinders a little, so what. The engine design is almost the same as it was 100 years ago. Harley has lost its way.
That's a solid deal 👌
I think you’re right about the phasing out idea with pricing.
Used to buy a new Harley every year. Can't afford to now.
They are out of their mind.
Getting a 2021 softail standard with 1K miles for 10 K. That’s my price range
I got the 2020 off a used lot in 2019. 500 miles, saved a few bucks. So remember, if you like it, someone else got it and changed their minds. Still new, but considered used. Great bike, shit price.
Exactly 💯
2022 street bob in red. 5k miles. Looks brand new. $11,000 I might grab it.
Sounds like a solid deal 👌
About 5 weeks ago Harley started offering 1.99% on 23 street bobs.
Meh, they were just a really good value in the past. One can add passenger stuff, some aftermarket bags, and a windshield relatively cheaply and you've essentially got a Heritage which sells for a whole lot more. I know, I just bought one. I do prefer floorboards and bigger fenders to keep the grime down, but that that's a lot of coin for those.
But yeah, if you can pick up an leftover, that's always the best way to go particularly with HD as nothing much aside from paint is likely to change.
And no Cruise control on this model...Agreed, no justification for such a price.
Also people that post prices on Facebook are posting them higher than they are willing to take cause they know they will be talked down on it. Unless it say firm then offer 1000 less they come back 500 less you say 800 and hold out your hand. 9-10 times they will shake it.
That's a great point too
Honestly I think they do it because it gets closer to a street glide price or road glide Lowrider ST... Makes people think well I've only spend this much more than I'll get into something with more options. I love the street Bob myself I have an Iron 8 83 it cost me like close to 12 out the door in 18. If I ever traded it in it would be for a street bob
17000 dollars seems like a bargain for me. Here in the Netherlands, we have to pay 21000 euros
Is the engine refined in 2024 or any major improvements? over the 2021 model year
Nope 😅
I have a 13 streetbob. Thinking of trading up to a road glide or a road king special . I hate how they change the streetbob .
Get that new road glide
I opted for a 23’ softail std for 13k and spent a few grand making it how I like and it looks better than a street bob imo. Exhaust, faring, seat and a little bling and I’m very happy. I wanted a street glide but them MF’rs are crazy for what they are asking.
I also advocate buying used after buying my current low rider S new. Save yourself a ton of money.
Looking at the used market for sure. You can easily find low mileage bikes only a few years old at good prices. The depreciation will be a lot less since its already used as well
Absolutely 💯
I do glance at local used dealer prices of the soft tail line. Not sure I can do it this year,
In Australia they are around $25000
I just have a 23 117 fxlrs, I vowed never to buy a new bike again. Used is where it's at...
A few months ago i bought a 24 FatBoy. Had the tail lights moved for the QD sissybar.
Not feeling this bike and looked at 2 street bobs today. Both 22’ both for around 14k. One with 1800 miles.
I know im gonna take a beating on my fatboy. Paid cash. All total $26,848.96
What a waste
I have a 2017 roadster, it's my 5th sportster! Haha I'm finally ready for a more comfy bigger cruiser and now they just cost soooooo much for not much. Where you stoked when you got rid of yours to the 114?
I didn't get rid of it. I kept my sporty. But the bob is definitely worth it. Find a used one
@TheMotoJawn what are your thoughts Bout barb's? Your Philly I'm south jersey
@@iamthejabbacat1338 they're pretty good. Might be the right time to get a deal on an old model year. But also consider private seller
@@TheMotoJawn thx man, yeah they have a few but they don't seem to wanna move on price at all
What changes do you want, it's a bobber! I do agree with you that the price is crazy!
im hesitating between street bob and lowrider S... the big priority for me is comfort (i have to let go of my sportster s due to back problems)
the pricetag difference is big, around 5k€ here in Belgium. I love both bikes, im a tad more attracted to the streetbob with orange but im a bit worried about the suspension/saddle cuz there is no demobike in stock to test it out. ill be testing the lowrider next week.
As for the increases in price... idk man, i think its just economy crisis... have you seen the car market? its way worse there :D
Also the drop in price you mention on the nightster but increas on streetbob... i think thats just a question of popularity on the models...
Is your bike Abs? What’s your opinion on abs?
Its not. Haven't ridden many with abs so not too familiar
Picked up new 22 streetbob 114 , fastback blue,end of November ,$11,500
Amazing price. how did you find that deal? :)
@@garyrhode3755 Illinois Harley
I haven't seen much since 2017 that I would buy. In 2024 they've got nothing on the floor that I would buy.
Definitely things are changing
Since they shuttered the dealership I bought from I'm not inclined to traversing the 20 miles across the Pittsburgh shooting gallery to buy anything besides parts and oil. I even get the parts online anymore.
I’m seeing a ton of used street bobs 114 customized like crazy on Facebook near me with low miles and thousands under for what a new one cost.
Definitely the way to go
Noo, there's change they put smaller gouges, so you can't see speed 😅
Someone has to buy from dealers for a variety of reasons. Less than stellar credit/cash flow is probably the biggest reason imo.
Here in Denmark we pay 39.178 dollars the the cheapest basic 2024 Street Bob 114. 😊
I go everywhere with my Harley. I was in ahus Denmark in 1999.. I send my motorbike from the states. Travel around with it. I couldn’t believe the prices of Harley Davidson’s at the dealer in ahus . At the time. I was told of course it’s double tax, etc. Just the crazy price coming from an American.
$15.900 USD over here, equates to $24000 AUD
Come on, that price is nothing. Plus you don't have to pay MSRP. I bought my bike and got $4,700.00 off the base price. Never pay full price!!! Prices go up due to increases in production costs...or so they claim!
I’m looking at used Street Bobs in the NJ area right now. Great video!
Definitely find a good deal on used
I was going to buy one. Then i read the heading and now im not buying one. Thanks Pal
Hey, thanks for the video. Here's my deal, I had my 2022 Fatboy stolen by some POS and it's gone, I had theft insurance on it and I get $5000 cash right, wrong, the dealer LIED to me and it's $5000 toward the purchase of a new Harley. I was going to just say forget it but now I"m thinking of a new Harley to get but I want LOW payments. So, I have $5000 for a down payment, not so great credit and I'd like to get into a new Harley. Would you have any suggestions on which Harley to get? I was looking at the 2024 Street Bob but you say don't buy it for $16,999. In my current situation would you now say buy it or would you suggest a different Harley? If I don't use the $5000 credit in 55 days I lose it. How about the Sportster S?, Is it too small for a guy who's 5 10 and 1/2? I'm sorry for all the questions but I need help and I was hoping you might find the time to answer my too many questions.
I got a 2023 street bob for 1.99% from Harley 3 weeks ago.
Yes. The Used bike market is totally 💯 FLOODED 🌊 without a doubt ‼️
Am getting a 2019 with 3.5k miles for $9.5 is that a good deal ?
Yeah I would say that's pretty solid
Bro, look how much they want for an entry level Sportster or Nightster😂😂
In the UK, it starts at $19K!
WOW 12K for a 2022 is crazy cheap. Honestly that’s the way to go
They've more interest in their touring line. Again, straying further and further away from consumers thatll be alive in 20 years.
For sure heavy focus on touring
I’m about to buy a 2022 street bob with a stage 2 for $12,500; 78whp stock, 118whp after😅😅😅
I completely agree. I have a 22 Street Bob that I bought 02/22. I traded in a 2016 Sportster 48 that I paid $6500 for. Dealer gave me $10k in trade in. OTD price on the Bob was $18k but with that $10k trade I couldn’t say no. Only reason I got it tbh. It’s a sweet bike but considering a Rebel 1100 is $11k and comes with ABS and cruise control… the value in these Street Bobs just isn’t there
10k on a 48 is pretty good
I love my 22 street bob! If anyone is interested in one the dealership I got mine at has a new 2022 fastback blue sitting in their used lot for only 13k.
Just bought a 24 street bob 114 for 11,500 out the door brand new
Just got a 2021 with 4500 miles for $9700
That's a great deal
lol 😂 all my HD are 20years old or older . Haven’t been into a dealership since bought last new bike 1993 . Will never walk into another HD Dealership again .
Picked up a 2022 for 8500 with 4k Miles😅
