RE: Street Bob 06 or 07 ?
ORIGINAL: mikedmeyer
My buddy bought a low mileage 06 Bob for 11.7K off Ebay 1 year ago, it had lots of upgrades as well. The market? He lives in San Jose and the bike was in Carmel. I don't think 10,600 is a good deal. And if the new bob price you're quoting happens to be from San Jose Harley, do yourself a favor and drive to Santa Cruz (where I bought my 99 DWG) or Redwood City. SJ Harley has a markup on everything and they act like they're doing you a favor to even talk to you.

Yeah - just to give you an idea of this market - a new 08 bob is $15,500 + taxes and dmv = almost $18,000. And of course, then add forward controls, stage 1, 2 up seat...

No one usually uses NADA for bikes, instead they use KBB. I guess it all depends on what you find. I just saw an '07 go for $15K at my dealer. Blew my mind.
$10,900, in your market, sounds like a hell of a deal. Like I said earlier, you'll probably never notice the difference in the 2 motors.

The dealerships Im refering to are in the Sac area. None do MSRP, all have handling surcharges plus more stuff charges for other stuff... Just by calling Reno hd I shaved off over a $1000 bucks compared to the local shops. And their bikes all have Cal emmissions and its only a 90 minute drive through the beautiful Sierras. If I were buying new, what a great first ride that would be - cruising through tahoe and saving money doing it - nice

guys keep in mind that you'll want to compare apples to apples...new pistons and boring the jugs on an 88 and shazam!...95 cubes...really close to 96 cubes...bet there would be not much difference between the two bikes at that point.

Im not so sure that this 06 isnt a good deal. If your buddy bought one for $11.7k off eBay did that include shipping? Also, unless it was a Cal bike, which it probably wasnt since it was on eBay, it would of had to have at least 7,500 mies on it for him to register it here in Cal. Im not saying his bike was a bad deal - just saying that the asking price of this bike seems pretty good given its an 06, its local, has upgrades and very low mileage.

RE: Street Bob 06 or 07 ?
88 to 96c.i is a noticeable difference
06 has cam chain and primary bearing problems.
07 has smoother gears.
07 highr retail value, maybe still hs a warrantee
I'd go with an '07

As stated in my post the bike was in Carmel. Shipping not included (or required). I live in SoCal now and I saw a brand new 07 Bob in a dealer for 12K + ttl. Shop around a little more.

Umm... Ok, I'll bite, so which dealer was this in SoCal that has a new 07 bob for $12k? Again, dealers name and number please?

It was a Pacific Blue Denim 2007 Street Bob. A couple of Sundays ago. There was a Black Cherry one right next to it that said "Big Savings" but had no number specified.
There's a link from their website where you can request a quote, but I think you'd be better off calling (just my gut feeling). Good luck.

RE: Street Bob 06 or 07 ?
If this bike is still under warranty, it will transfer to you when you buy it and you can go to the HD dealer of your choice and extend it.
I bought my 06 Street Bob after the 07s came out, and although I was tempted by the 96ci motor (more cubes is always better!), I decided that a) the money I saved by buying the 06 could do a 95ci kit and more, and b) if I was so concerned with speed I'd be better off saving thousands and get another sportbike.
Go with the deal you're happy with. Even if you get a bike for free, someone will post that they got paid to take a bike.
Mods may not add much to the price when you're selling, but when you buy a stock bike, the mods add up fast.
