The RISKY TRUE Story of my Harley Street Bob 114.... 

Non traditional dealers can be good, they don’t like sitting on inventory dollars and are motivated to sell odd ball items outside their traditional inventory and are not influenced by buying trends or industry market demands. Warranty follows the bike. Good job!

I bought two snowmobiles and a trailer from a car dealer for less than half of their value alone not to mention the trailer. Some people are running so tight that they have to dump their toys when their primary transportation needs come up. The car dealer didnt want the package so they lowballed the trade by thousands and the guy took it. I just happened to be there when it happened, told them id take them today for $500 over what they paid and they were happy to do it. $7000 worth of sleds (it was 2006 lol) and a $2000 trailer for $3500....

Congrats on your new bike! I purchased a super clean low mileage 2007 Yamaha FZ1 (in 2009) which was traded in on a used car by an older gentleman who was done riding motorcycles. The dealer was several thousand below book (guessing I got it for whatever the trade allowance was) I ended up selling it a couple of years later for 2k over what I purchased it for. And I just happened to be traveling through the area LOL

They parked a redline red FXBBS right in front of my damn parts counter at the dealership I worked at. Now I own it...

Yes you only get one key fob and pretty sure warranty follows the bike and only thing you get besides the fob is an owners manual which is nice to have but if you have a good relationship with your local dealer I'm sure they can throw you one. I would recommend Thrashin supply escape throw over bags for a little handy storage. Great bags and fit the line of the Street Bob. The Thrashin essential bags are quite small and the escape bags are just roomier and hardly noticeable difference mounted on the bike. Dart makes a nice sleek easy to mount fly screen if you're just looking to take a little wind off your chest for highway speeds and don't want to go the whole club style Memphis shades stuff. Have fun modding it!

You seem to have gotten a really great deal on your bike. I am hesitant about buying a bike from a car dealership but that’s me congratulations on your purchase. Love your posts and I used to live and work in Pennsburg northwest of Philadelphia. It would’ve been nice to have met you and done some riding. Take care and Good luck.

Good Find. Not being in a rush and not needing to trade your bike makes a difference. Seeing you ride it makes me wonder about the Sporty though. I don’t see both being ridden. The second bike needs to be Different.

I bought my first bike just a few days ago it’s 2021 street bob 114 with 60 miles for 10k from a dealership everyone I’ve talked to about it said I got a deal of a lifetime

I bought my Triumph Trophy SE from a high end car dealer in NJ a month ago , the one partner has a sub biz selling used bikes , deal went quick and the price was right

If you're local to the Bucks County area, would love to link up and ride some time. I have the orange on black street bob and loving it so far

Good deal. Congratulations.

What is the big secret with what the bike was purchased?

Did it have the 1000 mile service?

I traded my street Bob for a lowrider st…. Which I probably should have just bought the lowrider off the start…. But.. dang.. I’m having second thoughts…. I grew to really love the way that street Bob handled…. It handles like a dream,,, especially after 😊you put a couple thousand miles on it.. you really get to know it.. I could ride that like a pro.. and I’m probably not the greatest rider otherwise.. the big touring bikes sorta intimidate me.. I can ride them but I always feel a bit nervous,,, because you need to know the bike your riding and I haven’t ridden any tour bike more than 20 miles.. so… I’m hoping I get that same feeling from the lowrider…. But anyone thinking about one or the other… the street Bob is a fantastic bike.. you can get some nice leather bags, a fairing a new seat and sissy bar… and it will look great and you’ll have a great bike for riding distance… maybe upgrade suspension and it will be really good..

Picked up 2022 new streetbob fastback blue ,19 miles for 11,500 ,about 2 weeks ago,

I paid 17,734 for a 22 street bob, and had it delivered from 2 1/2 hr away, great deal!!!

I'd have done the same thing. I've been looking also and the local dealers in Denver will not even tell you the price. Picked up a 20 Softail standard for 12.2K cash from a private seller with 102 miles on the clock. The dealers wanted to beat me up on my sportster 72 also, so I got to keep it too. Wife asked why two bikes? Sporty on odd days and Softail on even. Thanks for the tale buddy and stay safe.

totally makes sense, car dealer does not give af and just wants that bike gone, buying at the end of fall is the best because then they have no chance of selling it and will need to store it so your best deals will come then

I hope I find a good deal next year !

What happen to the 1200?

Harley Davidson only gives one key when you buy it. They also come with no manual. Harley usually has a 2 year, unlimited miles. It does need a 1000 mile service.

Chopper build on the sporty!!?? Club style the softtail. All things as god intended!!!

Warranty should be good. Vin number tell them everything.

It’s a new bike. H-D will take care of it.

Warrantee follows the bike,,

Just say the damn price. Jeez its not some big personal thing what your bike costed. 🙄

Shoulda gotten a Vulcan instead

Why wouldn't you say what you picked it up for unless your trying to flip it. What a waste of time.
