Yes it is... The 5k off is on an 09 Vegas. It includes the militaryor the demo promotion of 1000 and the drop in msrp from 16299 to 14499 and 2200 in factory cashmjw930 said:That ad is hugely misleading. As I understand it you would have to qualify for a number of discounts AND have a coupon from a demo ride to realize the total $5000 savings. Who knows what the real "sales" prices are, it's entirely up to your dealer whether they kick some of the rebates back to you.
What used market? If the dealers are sitting on old inventory they couldn't move after almost 2 years of "closeout" pricing that pretty much indicates the market for those bikes is saturated. Victory's problem, up until the Vision and Cross bikes, is overpricing. Look at the street price on a 2 - 3 year old Jackpot or Hammer, less than 50% of the MSRP. The market sets the price and it's obvious the Vegas derived bikes, regardless the chrome and billet Victory puts on them from the factory are $12,000 - $13,000 bikes NEW, not the $15K - $19K the factory thinks they are worth.satxron said:I am surprised though. In the recent past Victory would let the bikes collect dust on the floor. That is why they had so many 07-09 new models of just about everything laying around the country.
Looks like they are trying to put an end to that practice.
On the other end of that sword it slashes the used market in a big way.
...or an M109R for around 11kmjw930 said:I looked at Victory back in '99 and again in '05 and couldn't justify the price. I looked again in '08 when I bought my second V-Rod and it was hard to justify an $19,000 Hammer when I could get a VRSCAW (V-Rod w/240 tire) and ABS for $16K. It took the XC to make me a Victory owner because the bike provided the value I was looking for.
My bike is 5 years old, I don't mind buying another but not with that level of depreciation.TheDude said:Trade in? Resale?
These are factors that are only applicable if you plan on selling your bike, which begs the question, why buy something this expensive if you don't plan on keeping it for a long time?
I can assure you that resale on my bike will be ultimately low...it's either gonna be salvaged, run til the wheels fall off (so to speak), or held onto as a relic.

My brother an HD rider askes about the trade value as his street glide is holding the price up well. I simply reply Would you like to take this thing for anouther ride bro , he grins and reaches for the keys.
Now if I worried every time I missed a great deal because I bought anouther I might never have been in a position to buy a bike in the first place.
I'll take my lumps and in the fall of 2011 I will line up and buy a new 2011 cross or anouther pin. Then a month or two latter there will be an upgrade and a price drop , thats simply the way the cookie crumbels.
I think I'll just have anouther beer .
Yup 14500 for 2010 KP 8BAll........if I waited a couple months..could have had a 2011 with 106/6 and cams for ....14500
Sigh
But what a blast she's having with it!

So, I take it your first bike and first car are still in the garage?
