    I currently own and love Harley Davidson. I had other brands in the past and ended up with a Harley. However, paying 40K+ for a Harley, or any other motorcycle, is simply way too much.

    I rode that exact bike during the Harley demo days event near my house and I got to say it’s a gorgeous bike with the colors and paint quality being some of the best I’ve ever seen. However, I don’t believe the bike lives up to its $40,000 MSRP price tag (not to mention dealer fees or any other mark ups). It’s definitely a great bike but to me, no where near worth 40k.

I've been unbelievably blessed from 3 years old thrown on the tank of a 350 Honda scrambler in 1962 til today (with gaps) And the lord just showed me "He didn't leave me alive after "all" who had endured the same as I died, and just to go out and hit the road via some vehicular miss-fire literally! So, I begrudgingly bid farewell too my fellow 2 Wheel Freedom Lovers, and I pray you'll all be safe. I just have to live vicariously thru Sean and his gang.

Complete 128 Stage 4 completed with a Woods cam and Power Vision (141HP/151T), custom paint job, upgraded head unit to the 2021 GTS with 8 speaker new RF speakers and 2 400W amps, chrome and LED packages, convertible tourpack, heated/cooled seat (new this year and is awesome), oversized saddle bags, etc., etc. ,etc. Sitting around 80K (paint was the single highest cost) all in right now and is really a work of art at this point.

      You sure about that ? lol. I’m not familiar with a shadow spirit but I did own a phantom edition shadow and it was so slow it couldn’t get out of its own way and you’d think it was gonna explode just trying to hit 95 mph on the interstate, and I’m a little guy so it ain’t like it was my fault for being too fat or too big or anything. lol. My road king special does 113 before the governor shits it down and it doesn’t take terribly long to get there.

    I hate to be like this, but as a master technician I have to point this out in the same way teachers point out spelling and grammar mistakes. Engines need fuel and combustion to create power and motors use electricity to create power. People make the mistake of calling engines, motors but never call motors, engines. I know it may seem like nitpicking, but it does make a difference.

      With the wing looking as sharp as it does now, I feel the same way. Even have some left over to upgrade the audio system and take a mean roadtrip.

    Indian offers more as standard options whereas Harley charges an extra 10k. I paid over 30k for my used 2017 F150 4WD, but spending 40k for two tires and a moto....hard pass

      I'm shocked that they sell as many of these as they do for the cost of them. I just can't see spending that amount of money on any motorcycle. Of course I've never bought a new vehicle of any sort so..... I guess to each, their own.....😊

    it is a gorgeous bike but I learned from my last bike, I now hate chrome. haha Omg, the constant polishing and work it takes to keep it new looking was a pain in the ass.
