Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Finally I am going ahead for freezing my decision on owning a Fat boy. My five years old Royal Enfield Desert storm 500 was sold yesterday. I have raised a request for a 2016 black fat boy with Harley dealer and looking if I can be offered any deal from the old lineup. Sales executive has also suggested to look for Olive Gold color in the new 2017 lineup but I think Fat boy looks good in black only. |

![]() That is quite a jump, from a Desert Storm to a Fatboy. Which dealer btw? Since your location says Lucknow/Gurgaon so try and get the best possible deal from all the dealers in NCR and the one in Lucknow. Recently a close friend bought a xDiavel S from Ducati Mumbai. He had taken quotes from Delhi, Pune and Bangalore Ducati dealers as well, but the Ducati Mumbai quote was the most reasonable. So try and get a quote from nearby dealers too (Jaipur, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Ludhiana as well). You never know, some of these dealers might have a better deal in store specially since you are looking for a 2016 model. The Fatboy looks best in black. Period. ![]() | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have not booked yet. I am still running around between dealers for a deal. One dealer does not have any inventory and has suggested to wait if Harley pushes for any deal on 2016 model. On the other hand, another dealer is having one black in stock and is offering a leg guard as freebie. Here the catch is that I want to go with former and he is asking to wait. I am not able to contemplate that this risk might not cost me a benefit of 1 lac which I am getting on 2016 lineup. |

I suggest you push him to see if you can get a better deal and close it. The fatboy is reasonably popular, he could probably find another buyer to buy the bike while you are waiting for the first dealer. | |

By the way, dealer has a 2016 1200 custom and might give some freebies if I show some interest. Last edited by ruchirtnt : 27th January 2017 at 14:09. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Can someone please share the price list of 2017 lineup of Harley with me. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Thanks for the suggestion. I did took a small ride of Custom but did not find it fit for me. Moreover, I have paid the booking amount for a Fatboy 2017 Olive Gold yesterday. The ex showroom quoted by dealer is 16.15 lacs. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Finally I booked a Harley Fatboy 2017 model in Olive Gold color. Initially I was adamant to go for black only but since I have now switched on to 2017 from the earlier stand of 2016 model, a new color choice looked more promising. It is a pure gamble and lets see how this new color will look on Fatboy taking that it is a all chrome model. I have seen Olive Gold in Iron 883 but with an all black model, this looks quite nice. I have paid 2l as advance to the dealer. The delivery committed is of June which after a very few deliberation is now settled to April'17. Last edited by ruchirtnt : 31st January 2017 at 16:22. |

| ![]() Four months wait time for the delivery? Seems to be madness. I too picked an odd color which wasn't stocked by the dealer but they ordered it from the plant and I got it in a month. Four months is a longer lead time than some dealers take to import a bike. |
