Mate of mine is part of a "secret" run of about 15 2012 models leaving from the Lane Cove H/O tomorrow morning and heading to Port Macquarie where they are staying at the Rydges overnight before heading back to Sydney on Thursday. Apparently they have been told to tell anyone who asks that they are 2011 models and its supposed to be hush hush. If any of you local blokes are around you might be able to go check them out.

Any news yet on pricing in Oz for the big twins? From what I've heard (up in the Kimberleys) Harley have screwed up BIG time this time by putting UP the cost of Sportsters. Is that really true?

 

US Prices for 2012 models are:-

Superglow  US$7999

Nightster US$9999

1200 Custom US$10299

Iron883 US$7000

Road King US$17499

Road King Classic US$19599

Street Glide US$19499

Road Glide US$19499

Electra Glide Classic US$19499

Ultra Classic US$21499

Ultra Ltd Electra Glide US$23799

Road Glide Ultra US$22499

Yet I am advised that the Street Glide prices have now risen to AU$33K.....come in spinner....don't u just love taking it up the ring???

 So Jacks what do you reckon

2k for shipping

2k allowance for changes in design to meet our regs

that would be about it or are there more costs guys?

so given 1:1 exchange we should be about 24k for the street glide? plus dont know if there is an import duty i guess

Yeah Doc, they'll hit u with 10%, I intend 2 get in touch with Choppaweezer to organise importation, as I'm after a CVO or a Screaming eagle model (110ci) that I saw on USA E-bay under H.D. Street Glide...worth a look, you'll be shocked at the low mileage bikes available....take a weel or 2 holiday, and still come out way in front....anyway for me ....way 2 go....check out Choppaweezer on the importing HD's on the forum............
