I can't comment on the price, but I'd like to see all the stuff that has been taken off included as part of the sale!

 

Sportsters don't seem to bring top dollar. When you search that area it returns quite a few to choose from.

Around here they are a dime a dozen and lots of them are listed below book. For some reason all the big twin listings are at or above book but I don't see them selling either. I guess these dealers are content to have the big twins sit around so they can look at them instead of selling them.

 

Thanks everyone for the input. Why I cam here. I didn't want my desperation to get back on to a bike to cloud my judgement.

There's another bike I'm looking at dyna that's all done up as well. This guy actually INCREASED the price by a 1000 but really like how it's set up.

Definitely something to think of.

 

Scorp,

I would like to humbly disagree with the negative comments above, about the mods, and ridden hard and 1/2 price.

Do you have your license yet? Did u ride the bike? I assume not.

I would ride it first, if that goes well I would pay dealer or a mechanic to inspect it for me. From what I have found the asking price is very close to market value, and you probably can bring it down somewhat, depending on what the mechanic tells you or cancel it altogether.

I hear you about the flames and I probably wouldnt put them on mine but I have to say that's one of the better looking flame jobs I have seen on a bike and its kinda in harmoney throughout the bike and I like it actually.

 

Odd, I haven't ridden it yet, haven't seen it yet. Still need to talk to my bank. I've had my M endorsement for awhile.

I'm thinking too since he's had for sale for awhile now I could talk him down a bit. As much as I'd like a SG it's out of my budget.

 

The only people who pay "full book" are people who are uneducated, (which the OP is taking care of by getting his education here! ), and a buyer who really, really wants that particular bike.

 

Yea, I would never pay full price. The fact it's been on since I think October with no sales makes me think he'd be desperate to sell and cash talks so...

 

To me the bike has the look of rode hard put away wet. It just doesn't have the look of a well cared for bike. The thunder headers being wrapped is a big turn off. Top header makers will tell you that is a drag racing trick and not meant for the street, as it slowly causes the pipes to disintegrate. As others have said, the flames are a personal choice and can easily be changed.

The price is a bit high though, I'd keep looking.

 

 

.. the selling of a 'perfectly good bike' is one way of 'selling your sins' and letting the next guy fix what you have screwed up. Used bikes should be purchased either from a dealer (with a warranty), or from an individual that you know (or a friend knows..) Don't buy someone else's problems……..
