Leftover DLX?

[pdedse]

I agree with you that ABS should be a requirement, but if you're seriously concerned about locking up your front wheel and going over the bars, don't be. I sincerely doubt a CB could achieve such a maneuver. Good luck with your search.

I'm not concerned about an endo, I'm concerned about high siding.

I just can't pay $9k for a new ABS model when the non-ABS are selling for $6k - the deal finder in me won't allow it. It's also tough for me to justify a flight to Chicago from Denver not knowing if the bike will even pass muster, plus the cost+time of riding it or shipping it from there would easily be $1k or more with a flight.

I think owners of DLX bikes--if they are well cared for and 3-10k miles range--will ask over 7k$, maybe as much as 9 or 10 because they may have significant "add-ons". A poster mentioned a "new" one, but that would be "news" to all here because I think it's been established that there are no new DLX '14 leftovers. But, captain Ahab did eventually catch up to the white whale, so maybe there is one out there.

If ABS is a must, and price is a strong consideration, then I think your only option is a slighty used '14 DLX, at around 7-7.5$ or slightly higher. If you find a clean DLX between 5.5 and 7k$, I'll wager most here would say that was an awesome deal for you...and the bike might last as long as you want to ride.

Here's an example, and seller says firm at 8k$:

Not black two pipes, abs, larger fuel tank, 4k miles...beautiful looking machine.

If you can prod yourself to no ABS, and can stand the black STND, then those leftover '14 models may sell at $6-6.5k, with a year warranty. Heck, I'll bet some dealers are about to accept less than 6k with fall nearly here and winter around the corner.

I hope you find one!
