Default Cheap HD

Hello, I am new here and I was just wondering if you guys know where I can buy very cheap used Harley Davidson bikes. Preferably bikes in the 1,500-3,500 $ range (possible junk but with the possibility of getting fixed).

- Martin.

anything in that dollar range will probably need the same again to get it road worthy. Better just to spend 5-7 on a bike you can ride away on. just my 2 cents worth.

you can look at sites such as this for an idea of what you will get for your $$$... http://www.wreckedharleybikes.com/

First welcome, might want to slide over to the newcomers AO and intro yourself.

1500 might get you a clean title and a frame. 3500 could get you a Sporty or basket case BT. Check craigslist.

Thanks for the responses. My situation is the following. I am originally from South America, been living in the US for 5 years now (I'm 20). Go to school in Illinois and been shocked by how big is the HD phenomenon here in america. I want to start a business of selling used HD in South America. Do you guys think it could be a profitable business? I know there is demand for HD bikes there (lots of agriculture.. companies in need of them). Do you guys think it's better to buy the bikes on junk conditions and then repair them? Or is it better to buy used bikes in descent conditions and them sell them?

That website on wrecked harley's look awesome! Thanks Krazy8s

I think it's best to leave them right here in the U.S.
