I am looking at a 05 Screamin Eagle V-rod for $16100.oo with 2300 miles, is this a good year to buy, or should i look at 06 or 07 models?

The only thing I can think of with that bike is big engine, little gas tank.

They only made the Screaming Eagle in 05 & 06. They both had the 1250 motot and tons of chrome, but in 06 they had the 240 rear. Now you can buy a new 08 with the 1250 motor, 240 rear, ABS and a larger gas tank. The SE bikes are nie and that is a pretty good price for one.

Of the two years for the SE, my opionion is that the 2005 is a better year---simply because I don't like the 240 tire. The small tank size can be overcome with one of the aftermarket tanks, Unlimited Engineering or Rick's Motorcycles. I have the Unlimited in my 06 A.
You would have better brakes on the 2006 though...................

I think the red 2005 SE is one of the prettiest motorcycles on the planet, but when the choice came down to a used one or a 2008 I went with the new one. I figure I can doll it up all I want as time goes by, but start off with some very desirable upgrades, most notably the gas tank. Anything is possible with the cash. Just look at VRodMike's masterpiece.

I don't like the 240 tire.
I did like the bigger rear tires
until I started using them
now i will probably never own a bike with that big of a tire ever again
