My local dealer STILL has the 2018 model they had a year ago. No price listed. Says "call for price" I think I'll give it a try. But if it is $100 off a year ago, still no deal. I already have a 2013 Bullet bought new for $6000, it now has a carb kit and a pipe, new tires and brakes, and a few other things. About $800 worth of mods. Now we all know mods don't increase the value of something, but in my case they really shouldn't decrease it either. I would be very lucky to get $2000 out of it, even though it looks like new, and thanks to the carb and the pipe, runs way better than new. For way less than they want for a new Himalayan OTD, I could get a nice used VStrom 650 with tubeless tires and a modern liquid cooled engine. Since even the Himalayan has EFI, what's the difference there? I am not a hardcore rider, I am 60 years old with a bad back and a lot of other orthopedic issues. so the more comfortable a bike is the better.
