    As I said, a Sportster is not a smaller version of a Big Twin. At 1st glance a Sportster & a Dyna look very similar, but they're quite different in many ways. A Sportster will trounce a Dyna on twisty 2-lane roads, but out on the interstate, the Dyna is much better. And if you carry a passenger often, the Dyna is a lot better for that too. The Nightster's been very popular, but just with solo riders who like it for what it is.

    Whatte heck are they gonna do with all those traded in sportsters, if they truly give you your money back then everyone will just buy a new one because they will all be the same price(new or used) somebodys gonna have to take a hit on them sportys, and I doubt its the dealer, Todd

    That's a good question. At one time, a used Sportster in XLent condition did sell for what the MSRP was new as year-to-year prices rose, but of course the economy is a lot different today.

    However, I have seen a few used Sportsters @ a dealer priced higher than a new one, but only in a sitation like comparing a used 1200 Custom with lots of chrome, aftermarket pipes, etc. to a new 883 Standard with no add-ons.
