Call it what you will, Thomas, but HD has sold bikes this way for over a decade now and made damn good money at it. Now that there are fewer bikes than buyers (hey, wait.....Yamaha has said for years that sport-tourers have no buyers) individual dealers are free to gouge the shit out of us.....er....I mean, use creative pricing.

Even in southern New Mexico they go for a minimum of $10,000 over sticker, and sticker already has huge profits built in for dealer and manufacturer both.
