     I am just going through the process of buying a 2012 Fat Bob, love the bike, Rrp is $24900 ride away and I was wondering how far I may be able to crunch them on the price or trade off on accessories . I know about the 10% off helmets etc...

     

    Believe if I hold off for the Sept 2013 bikes and go out and buy on the day of there test ride-8th Sept Harley Brunswick will throw in an extra 12 months warranty .Would be keen for SE ,pipes etc... And I guess as already said wondering how low they might go , happy with 2012 may be a better deal with runout models.

    CHeers any advice recent experiences appreciated.

    welcome.
    great choice of bike.
    they don't generally deal on price but may throw in some accessories or a reasonable discount on them.
    the 2013 bikes will be just as popular as the 2012 so I cant see them dealing any better on them

    i think its a mistake trying to make a decision on 2012 v 2013 based on price .  ie there probably isnt a "right" answer.

    You are better off simply comparing spec's , delivery date , and the extra years warranty peace of mind.

    whatever you choose enjoy !

    Hi ,

    Thanks for the input appreciate it, looked at the Victory Jackpot Tequila Gold, but after 18 bikes the Harley's always been the dream and I would never forgive myself if I didnt go for it.

    Have another bike to throw in the mix a 2009 Fat Boy 15800klm on it and has been spec'd up. I really like it.

    All parts are no more than 2 mths old- claimed.

    Screaming Eagle Pro Super Tuner

    Vance Hine Big Radius pipes

    Screaming Eagle Heavey Breather

    Chrome switches and Housing

    Chrome Levers

    Diamond handgrips

    Chrome Outlaw forward controls and matching pillian pegs

    Brand new headlight

    Brand new Tyres

    Brand new badlander seat

    New brakes

    Original seat comes with the bike and all original parts off the bike including the original pipes. All work including full service by Harley Brunswick.

    $23000 or $23500 with RWC, NEG of course no warrenty or ABS brakes which I rate highly having suffered a bit of road truma over the years LOL

    Any thoughts, comments looking at this beast today in the metal so to speak.

    Welcome mate.
    I bought my new 2010 Lo just after they released 2011 model. Ticket price remained the same (as always does) but managed to negotiate them throwing in $2500 in HD accessories.

    Good luck.
