dyna questions
I currently have a Vulcan 750. I am looking for bike that has more room for my wife when I ride 2-up. I really like the Dyna models and have always wanted a Harley. Should I buy a 2006 with the improvements or or buy a used one with many of the additions I want already on the bike, but for a little less money? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

RE: dyna questions
I actually prefer a one-owner with low miles over a new bike (same with guitars). That way, I let the first guy get the bugs out of it when it is new. Also, I can use the money I save by buying used, to get the accessories I want for it. This time I couldn't find what I wanted in a used bike, so I bought a new Dyna. Now, as a result, I have little or no money available for mods and I must deal with these ridiculous recalls, fixes and other bug-related variables.

RE: dyna questions
Personally, I decided to go new; the previous owner(s) may have worked some old bugs out and added some of their own (MHO). Additionally, the warranty carries a lot of weight...
Besides, that way I started with a fresh canvas and all the mods would be MINE! MINE!

Tough Call. There are many changes to the Dyna line in '06.
Low milage. what's that....30K on the 02 and 15k on the 05

RE: dyna questions
No. 2000-3000, or less. Technically used, but virtually new. Good as new, but cheaper. I see them around here (Dallas) occasionally. Unfortunately, the only one I came across in that category during my latest quest was a Softail (452 mi on it) and out of my price range. So I opted for the new Bob. Yeh, the warranty is nice, that is if you can get the MoCo to honor it when you need it...

RE: dyna questions
Personally, I like a carbed bike so I would look for something older or something new that still has a carb offering. The only reason I like the carb is because in the world of computers, I like my toys a little old fashioned. There are advantages to EFI I guess, but I have my car for that.
