Fixed and detailing and clean air cleaner, plugs , oil and probably a major service
But I love Roadsters, not a lot of people know about these sportsers
Nice.. im looking at a very similar R this weekend, seller is a dealer asking for $5500, im hoping to get out of there for $4k

Ok so I got out of there for $4500 all together. Has a little paint blemish on the tank but otherwise in mint condition. HD dealer is replacing all fluids/filters etc. Anything you guys think I should tell them to make sure to do?

This thread is seriously making me want to buy a 1200R. There is one selling locally. It's a 2007 with 9k miles and seller is asking $5K OBO. I wonder how much I can talk him down to?

$5k seems pretty reasonable for that bike. If you got it for $4500, I'd say you got a pretty nice deal. I recently bought an '08 Roadster, so I had been keeping my eye on Roadster prices.

Less then 200 miles away, one year newer, lower miles, and U haul rents trailers for $15 a day.

I bought my first Sportster in San Antonio just 7 streets from my mothers house, and dragged it back to Houston.

That '08 does look like a good buy but it's dead stock, I'd have to think real hard between that and RLJ's 05 that's done up so nice.
I'd say the 08 would be better for resale in a few years but the 05 would be the better bet if it's a keeper.
Plus the 08 has the 4.5 gallon tank which would have to go, to me a roadster has to have a peanut tank.
