Looking at a 91 fxr 65000 miles guy wants 5k

 

I like the FXR bikes, 65K on an EVO engine if its been well maintained is not a show stopper in my opinion.Them FXRS run on rails if everything is aligned correctly, good wheels and tires etc....Love the frame on them bikes, and if the bikes in good shape 5k is not too much....

 

said he just put brand new tires and pipes and seat and more are not stock

 

Depends on how it was taken care of. A buddy of mine has about 110K on an 04 Ultra. I've bought a few higher mileage cars & had better luck with a newer car with high mileage than an older car with the same mileage. A newer one with high mileage tells me that they're highway miles, which won't hurt it at all. If it were an 01 with 65K miles ---- maybe. Personally, I'd skip it. Maybe buying somebody else's headache. BUT, for $5K, if you get a couple of years........... it's a gamble. It might just be OK.

 

As long as it hasn't been abused and properly maintained, it still has plenty of life left in it before it should need anything major. I'd jump on it myself.

 

Called the guy this morning he said it has

Fat bob back fender
4gallon tank
spoke rims
ss carb
12 inch apes

but said since it has no insurance he wont let me test ride it?

 

Walk. No test ride. Too old and too many miles. There are many more better deals out there. You would sink a fortune in it

 

If you have ins it should cover you for the test ride. If you don't have any ins find someone you trust that does and let them take it out.

 

take it an have it checked out before you buy it the same way you would do a used car if hes not ok with that walk away

 

this why i wanted a dealer bike because i don't know any harley riders only crotch rocket riders
