There is no such thing as a "deal" on a new bike. When you buy new all you are doing is a favor for the guy you end up selling it to for 1/2 to 3/4 of the price you paid for it, and taking that major depreciation hit for them.
^Speaking from experience.
Now, if your financial situation is such that you dont have to worry whatsoever about money, then buy new, used, custom, or whatever makes you happy.

Well I'm no millionaire - but the bike i was leaning towards (Harley Iron 883 sportster) Is about $11K brand new - and a used one in good shape ranges from $7-9K - so there's not a huge difference in price. Granted it will lose value if i buy new but I will have piece of mind that it wasn't abused.
