Greetings from the home state of HD. My current ride is a 2009 HOnda Shadow Aero. Great bike, but looking for something in the 1600cc range. I have had my eye out for a Road or Street Glide. FOund a 2007 RG for $10,499 with 40k miles. Being I am new to HD, what kind of pricing should I be looking for on the Road and Street Glides? At what mileage should I show concern? Budget wise I need to come in under $12k in price in order to keep the budget under control. Thanks!!

 

That's reasonable if it was maintained, is it from a dealership? I was told that Under 75K miles and it's eligible for a genuine HD factory warranty if you choose to purchase one.

 

It is at a dealership, but a non-HD one.

 

Do you have a vest? What kind of boots do you wear and where do you put your gas cap?

 

Well that was helpful *face palm*

 

Priorities man. You have to get the important stuff out of the way first. Do you want to be a real biker, or what?

The bikes are pretty solid. I would recommend browsing the Touring forum and looking at the common issues/recalls there. As far as pricing, we can't tell you anything that a google search, KBB, CycleTrader and the like won't tell you.

 

Somebody traded in a 2007 RG to a non-HD dealer? They must have hated it a lot.
There must be something seriously wrong with it. For one thing, any good, self-respecting Harley would have the decency to spontaneously combust if you park it in a Honda showroom.

 

One of the lady's who ride with us bought a '13 Sportster 883 w/$2,700 worth of extras (dealer installed at the time of purchase) and it only had 485 miles from a Ford dealership for $5,100. They took it as trade on a Mustang. It was a local trade and she received all the original paperwork. Her boyfriend is on this forum and he can chime in if he chooses to... Really a nice, clean bike.

 

If you are going to hang around here you might as well get use to it as it comes with the territory.


Welcome to the forums and I hope you find the bike that fits your needs.

Only advice I have is keep on researching and don't buy the first thing that catches your eye.

Take you time because when you get in a hurry you always screw up.

Good luck.

 

I hung around the forum for maybe a year watching, getting involved in discussions before I bought my first Harley last week. I am a little biased so screw the street glide, road glide all the way. There is a tremendous difference between what you have and what you are looking at.
