Hi, I have been in the EVO classic section for a little while with my 1990 Springer. My interest in riding Harley's has advanced and I am now stepping up to a more comfortable ride for the wife & I. We are meeting tomorrow to close on the deal and sign over the check & receive the title. I have looked at the bike and it is in excellent condition. There is a small blemish on the front fender, but nothing major. I have looked around at other Road Glide Ultra's and this one is one of the lowest price ones I could find.


The biggest thing I looked at is this one has a lot of little chrome pieces, a Mustang seat, sissy bar, quick disconnects for the bags & tour pack, and Vance & Hines true duals. It has also been tuned & dyno'd and comes with some sort of power pack programmer. Another good thing is that it comes from a private seller that is a dedicated Harley rider, not a dealer trying to make a buck (not that that is bad). The seller is in the process of knee replacement surgery and needs to go with a trike.


This is the write up on the ad:


$16,200 - I talked him down to an even $16k

Please let me know what you all think!

 

It's a nice bike. If I was in the market 15K (for me) would not be out of line considering the market and new model etc, etc.

What does KBB say about the price?

 

Looks like a really good deal to me.

 

Only you can determine if you think it is a good deal. Let's assume you pay a grand more than the current market. You keep the bike for 5 years (or more)...that's 16.67 a month...about 55 cents a day....don't sweat the small stuff, enjoy the ride.

 

Fair price. My buddy has a '12 special with QA tour pack and a few custom upgrades for 18,000. If it fits you, handle bars/seat/pegs etc, go for it

 

Its a Garage Queen, really has not been broken in yet. Looks like a good deal considering the upgrades done to it. Take it for a ride then see what your gut tells you. If you are not into it, there will always be another bike out there.

 

...... you could expect a lot of good miles from a motorcycle like that.
...... looks comfortable, well maintained & ready to tour
... if you don't go for it, would you forward the seller's name/# to me ?

 

People offer such a price expecting a low bid offer and I would have certainly gone lower than 16K, starting at 15 and negotiating from there. That being said, still seems like a great deal, especially with the true dual exhaust. Either have the lower legs painted to match or chrome and that would be a super sweet scoot. Best of luck and I love the Road Glide.

 

You will love it, take it home.

 

KBB comes in at around $13,275 trade in value and $17,550 retail. NADA says it is worth between $14,271 & $18,853


I tried that, but anything less than $16k and he was going to keep it and take his chance with his knee replacement.


Yes, if for some unforeseen reason I don't buy it, I will send you a PM with the sellers info. But I have already been approved for the loan and I am going thru with the complicated task of financing a vehicle from an out of state private owner.


Thanks for all the replies, Shimaze
