No. They were 07's. I can't justify buying an 09 or newer when I can buy this 07 at this price. If I was to buy an HD it would have to be several years old for what I can spend.

That is super information. Out of curiousity where did you find that deal? After reading reviews and talking to some RS owners at a couple bike blessings this weekend I have decided to go for it. I am going to give the owner of the shop a call on Tuesday to see what we can work out. I read a couple head to head reviews with the HD RK and it seems people prefer the RSTD. As long as I don't take a bath on a trade I will be happy. Wish me luck, and if there is anymore information that you can give me that would be great. Erik

I have been through alot of posts here and I am seriously thinking of picking up a RSTD or RSV. for the last several years I have been riding a Harley wide glide. I like it enough, but I am now in the market for something a little more comfortable. I have owned everything from Gold wings to sport bikes to on/off road bikes. I was considering buying a new Road King or Electra Glide, but they start out at 21 grand w/no extras. Seems a little expensive for what you get. So here is the situation I am in. A Harley/Honda/Yamaha dealer an hour North of here has an 07 RSTD sitting on the floor with 22 miles on it. I put 15 of those on test driving it. I believe these sold new in 07 for around 14k and change. They have it marked down to 11,300 and I feel like they may come down a little more. The bike is a 3 year old "new" bike. How do you tell what it is worth? I am also somewhat concerned that it will seem like a big bulky lumber wagon compared to my WG, but then it is a tourer. Has anybody here regretted trading in a WG or something similar and been bored with the RS? I am attracted to the RSTD because it seems stable on the highway, has a nice big seat and backrest for my wife, and if I am alone i can take off the windshield and backrest real easily. I was shopping for a bike with EFI, but I am into 70's Hondas so multiple carbs and synchronization doesn't scare me too much. Also, a 5 year unlimited mile warranty doesn't hurt either. I am also a big fan of customizing my bikes with pipes and chrome. It seems there are alot of options for RS's. Is that the case? Thanks for taking a look at this post. Sorry I am all over the map with my questions. Erik
