The bikes are getting older they will decrease in value it's inevitable
I just feel really bad for the guys who got em all New with all the problems before all the upgrades were available to help fix em.. that's all.. but I got mine used so I didn't pay the crazy prices that they were going for just a few years back or 10 years back when they were new..

While that maybe true for some, it wasn't the case for everyone. I had this discussion back in the old website when I did this and was advised it was the wrong thing to do, and the financial advisor for the company I worked for also said it was the wrong thing to do, but on a gut feeling going against the odds, I borrowed from my 401K and paid for the Mastiff, then I started to pay it back with an additional 5% interest paid to myself for the loan. 3 weeks before the stock crash in 08' while everyone around me was losing 45% of their 401's, I had moved my money to a fixed income plan, when the time was right, I jumped back into the market with both feet and watched it grow big time.
Sometimes you luck out.
So the way I look at it, my Mastiff was a freebie

Staying on subject, 20K is way too high:2cents:

That's a very inspiring story.. funny though because I have been pondering borrowing from mine to buy one of these and it looks like it might be happening soon.. So we shall see..

I like the paint job...but again...I love skulls. Blue/Silver...Skulls...wish I had the dough. I would have three dogs! I wouldn't pay asking price either.

I bought new, no regrets, still got it and only replaced a voltage regulator and a clutch cable, both out of warranty and both times the factory picked up the tab, ride in the rain, ride it everywhere and got my monies worth.

However, have wanted a bulldog bagger since I rode one of the first to come off the line before any had sold. Awesome bike...

And I like black baggers.... :)

Agree with your sentiments regarding buying new and no regrets.... At that time (2006) BDM was really hitting their stride, had several repairs done via recall, even post warranty; i.e., strut bolts, VR, EHC, side battery covers, clutch cable, etc. At least I know what has been done to the bike and have the documentation. The recent post regarding brochures also reminded me of the incredible amount of accessories that were available so I had to pull that catalogue for old times sake. I too feel I got my money's worth and still love the K9 and in my opinion still looks great after 11 years 8 months!

And that's what's up! My statement was to those who sold or plan on selling.. That's a hard pill to swallow.

I, for one, am glad the prices have come down (do feel bad for the guys who bought theirs new). I could never afford a $30K plus bike. I got lucky and found mine up in Michigan for $9k. It's a 2007 Mastiff that had 5900 miles and air ride suspension. Came with roughly $2500-$3000 worth of accessories too. Talk about being at the right place at the right time.

When I sold my 07 Bulldog which I bought new I sold it for less than half of what I paid. I had just about quit riding it after buying the K9 for a lot less than the original owner paid for it. So with the simple math I just stated, until I sell the K9 I'm still even :) if this makes sense:cool:. And, if you add in the 2010 Bulldog that I bought up in Erie, Pa for a lot less than the original owner paid at just over 40 grand, I'm riding for free:eek:
That's 2 of us Broham:old2::oldsmile:
