What planet are you from? No way anyone is riding my bike for a test ride without full cash money in my hand. I'm sure most feel the same.

you can also call around about shipping. I paid $90 to have my V rod shipped from the Detroit area to me about 2.25 hours away. I'd spent more than that on gas an tolls for a truck going to get it.

 

Like already mentioned, it's what you are will to pay and what they are willing to sell it for,


I have a 89 sportster that I have never put up for sale, don't need to sell it and I still like riding it , The engine is 1200 from a 99.

People always ask if I will sell it and what I want, one guy every years wants to buy it. I want 4500.00 or nothing. I don't need to sell, But the day someone gives my what I want I will sell. It's not your average 89, see picture below. I know most people will say I'm crazy, LOL that's alright , I don't need the cash.

 

Yea I tried that already. He wants cash in hand.

 

This is the one I negotiated down to 3300. I just realized that the black paint on the motor isn't stock. dont like that.

I just saw this one too. It's a little closer to me.

2003 I think will be the last year solid mount and the 06 will be rubber mount not as much vibration.

 

i paid ~4400 for my 07 883 w/ 187miles. a 2012 custom is about $6-7k. anything over $2000 for 2003 down is insane i don't care if it shoots diamonds out the exhaust... the market is flooded.

 

LOL, you could never own my bike then.

 

Their weight in gold!

 

2003 and earlier don't have isolated motors and vibrate a lot. I'd pay more for the more modern bike. Also, around the late 2000s EFI became standard and that's worth something too.
