Default New To Me Softail. Good Buy?


Hey guys, I'm a new Harley owner as of yesterday. My dad has been riding since I can remember and I finally took the plung and picked up my first Harley so I could spend more time with him as he gets older. I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself and my new ride. This is Marilyn. She's a 1996 Heritage with some sweet upgrades and about 28,000 on the clock. Just wondering what y'all think? The miles are a little high but I couldn't resist. I paid $7500 cash. Did I get a deal or what?

What?


Seriously, you already own the bike, now it doesn't matter if you got a good deal, now it only matter if you like it. So go out and ride your bike and enjoy it.

Not really my style but it looks clean. Might need a new rear tire soon. Enjoy it!

Well I definitely like the bike! She runs like a dream and has the upgrades I would have done anyway without the cost and time of doing it myself. It's lowered, has 14" Carlini gangsters, doula fishtail pipes, chrome controls and lines, 21" front and it's an EVO which is what I was really looking for in a motor. I'll be honest I can't stop grinning😎

Truly, If you think you got a good deal, then you did. Do not give a rat's butt about what We think. Enjoy your ride to the fullest, and hang around as much as possible with us.

Congrats! Enjoy the time with your dad! BTW, 28,000 miles is pretty low, not high at all, especially for a 21 year old motorcycle.

Deal? It makes you smile, and you'll spend more time with your dad while he's still here. There's no better deal than that, Sir!!
