Sounds like a good decision, $1500 difference between new and used to me is not enough to to sway me to go used. You owe us Pics on Tuesday for all the free advice LOL

 

...years ago Alamo had an, "unlimited free mileage deal" so my wife and I rented a Geo Metro and drove it 8,000 miles in two weeks. Got stranded in a flash flood in Capital Reef National Park and had to get pulled out through a terracotta lake by the National Park Service, got a 95 mile an hour speeding ticket on US 2 in Montana (cost $5.00) and just generally beat the urine out of that little pig....but, we did get unlimited free mileage and a few Sneers when we returned it at DTW.

No, I would not purchase a rental bike.

 

$1,500 difference between new and used is not worth buying used.

 

I am laughing while I read this. I just got done with the Indian Vs Harley thread. pages and pages of how awesome HD is. Bullet Proof, best ever etc. We are talking about a bike with 4k miles, and checked by the dealer after every rental. If our beloved HDs are so freaking awesome, and bullet proof, why hesitate? If it has not been wrecked, then so what if some guy was ripping on the throttle? if our beloved HD cant take a few trips to redline then we should be looking at a Honda.


Just bought a used Toyota truck. 206000 miles and didn't bat an eye, why cause I have seen yotas with twice that many miles still going strong in the afghan dessert. I have no worries about a low miles Toyota like that.


Ok enough
