I think you’re going to be in a hard fight against the cost of new bikes. I personally was looking hard for a used Heritage, but ended up buying new because it cost me less money.

Since few folk have $18k to give you, you might do better at a dealership that will sell it on consignment. That opens up easier financing and paperwork in the mind of many a customer.

One of the very best bikes Harley makes. You won’t go wrong with a Fat Boy. I love everything about the 2023 Fat Boy.

My FatBoy 114 is a rocket ship. Very nimble. Not heavy at all, as it has low center of gravity.

It is begging me to replace the stock pipes. This particular bike is very muscular and is perfect for Vance and Hines.

I did put a 19 inch clear windshield on it and tip over bars. This bike is a stud.
