I will also give my nod to buying a used bike. I had to, not only did I love the America at first site, I love the green/silver America with wire spoke wheels and slash cut silencers. That was back in 2004, when I couldn't afford a bike. This year, when I could, those things were no longer part of the America line up. Lucky for me, I found a 2004 green/silver America at my local dealer on Saturday when I was just looking. Bought it on the spot, and haven't had a problem with it since after 4K of riding. Not only did I get exactly what I wanted (never settle!) but I saved $3,000 which I spent right away on accessories!!
