Default Streetglide question

Hi i have a quick question i am looking to get a 2013 or a 2014 streetglide. Any real huge reason to go one over the other. The 13 has 5800 miles and the 14 has 6500. They are about 1000 apart in price. Any real benefit for going with the 14? Both are vivid black and in new condition. The 13 does have some klockwerks slip ons already on it.

Thanks for the input!

the '14 is a "rushmore" model- a redesigned fairing and stereo system, saddlebags some other stuff. New bigger front end.

maybe those features have value for you, maybe not.

considering potential resale down the road the '14 may be better as it is newer.

my real suggestion is buy private party- you'll save 9%+ right there as there is no sales tax- in AZ

ABS is really worth having on a heavy weight- do either of these have?

If both bikes are close to equal in condition, looks & mileage - for the extra $1k I'd pick the 2014 hands down - the improvements they made in 2014 make a much nicer ride

Yes, the 2014 is the way to go, it's a better Bike all around in handling and power to start with.
Both Bikes have under 10,000 miles on them so they are basically broke in and ready to ride.

If it were my money... and it was...

I'd go the 14 all day long.

I'm assuming you went with the '14 ... I hope it was the Special!
Oh wait, did they come out with the Special in '14? Or did that just start in '15?

I did work the deal out on the 14. Will be picking it up Friday it looks like. I do not believe it is a SGS. Looking forward to getting it and then let some upgrades start!
