New 2020 Tri Glides

2020

I don't like the colors, the stripes , the wheels , the seat , the foot boards . The sales man says you can change all that . What a let down . Tried to buy a 2020 black tri glide but my two trades are worth nothing to them 08 gl1800 csc kit lots of extras they offer $8000. 2010 tri flhxxx mint condition lots of extras $ 10000. Gave them 1 Finger and left Maybe buy another new GL 1800 F Harley That's my story[/QUOTE

Looking around myself. Maybe a leftover 19. A lot of dealers looking to make deals. Don’t know if the new electronics are to my liking. Try a different dealer before giving up.

Dealer called me this week ask me to come back & talk, went back today got a 2020 black my to trikes and $8000. plus I get to swap the wheels off my 2010 on to the 2020 I think it was a good deal. now I have to wait a week to get it that sucks :D
 
CVO is damn Pretty but... $50k to start is also pretty damn stiff. No IS, no mechanical reverse, basically (from what I can tell) a super chromed out 2019 with the 117. I really wanted a good reason to trade up from my 2013 but not sure if it's really worth it or not for me. Might just add mechanical reverse to mine and ride it 'til the wheels fall off (no pun intended cuz I do torque the lug nuts to 100lbs) :laugh: Or maybe look for a 2019 that is still sitting around somewhere. No clue at this point :Shrug:

I have seen a few new 2019s in my riding circle and I really am curious about why they traded up to a 19 from a 15 or 16. The lure of a more powerful engine is great and so is the new Boom Box, but on average, they are paying $10k for the difference. I have a 2015 and I love it. It has enough power to haul my fat ass plus any luggage I am carrying. And I am hearing all the rumblings that the new Boom Box has a lot of bugs that are worse than the old Boom Box.

And my main complaint about any new HD, we pay a bloody fortune for these machines and they come equipped like a stripped down Ford Pinto. At the prices HD wants, they should come equipped with mechanical reverse, chrome everything, and an entertainment Boom Box like something they would have on a F-22. At some point HD is going to have to either match the competition or change their market strategy. All these Millennials want electric scooters so HD will dump the big bike and get into scooters to stay in business. Not a good picture.

David I hear ya but they dont have any competition. the only other factory built trike is the can am spyder. and their prices are getting right up there also. hondas are still all conversions as are indians. a new bike add a conversion is money wise still in the same range. with a conversion you have warrantee issues possible. so as long as they keep selling them i dont see changes. so we buy what we like and live with it. change will only come when they stop selling

I agree. In looking at the new Honda Goldwing (2018-2019) trike conversions they are higher priced than the Tri-Glide and Indians are right up there also. And as you said - no power train warranty after the conversion. That to me on such an expensive vehicle is a show stopper. No matter how reliable a manufacturer may be there can still be problems.
 
MOCO needs to consider an immediate upgrade to an IRS for the trikes...now that, imo would be a worthwhile price increase and truly give us world class touring machines. Seems there's too much concentration on adding gee-wizz items.
 
Wife and I did the "Steel Toe Tour" at the York, Pa. HD plant on the 17th of Sept. 19. I was amazed at the number of CVO Trikes they were manufacturing. Someone out there wants these big $$$ machines. If you have never had the opportunity to do this tour, please do yourself a big favor and do it. It is an amazing thing to witness.
 
Agree

I went to my Dealer and tried to work something out for the CVO - couldn't do it. Just gave me book for my 2013 Tri (low mileage lots of goodies) and I'd need to put down $$ and then sit on a waiting list. The more I thought about it the more I realized that I do have CVO (a 2013 of my doing) and it runs & looks great (just gotta get those Willy Shiny wheels now).

If the MoCo would've put one out with a Shark Fairing, IRS, Mechanical Reverse, & the upgraded electronics (without worrying about the paint and chrome) think I might have been first in line - regardless!!

Oh well...

My wife has a 2019. The 2020 is a few thousand less for some reason. the traction control, ABS, new suspension and radio make the upgrade worth it IMO.

Yes I have priced Vettes lately. Base price is $55,500.00

I have a choice of a 2019 black =$58K+ or red for $59K+ Plus tax etc.

I've had 2 Vettes and I"m past that stage in my life now....but they sure are looking good.

Still more bang for the buck than a CVO TriGlide......and can go way faster and more comfortably for 12 months. :)

I bought a new 2019 Corvette Grand Sport, $85K on June 9th 2019. The car has been at the dealer now for over 90 days for a paint issue. This time in it has been there since Sept 9th and I stopped by to see it 2 weeks ago. It is in at least 400 pieces. It's been a joke dealing with GM. I have boughten 3 new Harleys within the last year and have had no issues with any one of them. So be careful buying your Corvette. My car pictured here has 1000 miles on it. I am not a big fan anymore.
 
Dan congrats, I’m extremely happy with mine.

Congratulations, but we need pictures please.:D
 
With the MoCo making major suspension changes last year, I didn't expect they would do it again.

In the write up, it stated it had a 19" front wheel & 18" rear wheels. I do like the look of them.

I, like others, am not impressed with the paint.

The good news is payments start at $688/monthly.

Good news $688, lol, lol, lol.

Harley-Davidson has Lost their mind, 688 lol...
