I always liked the look and sound of harley's all my life but only ever rode push bikes. One day I thought if I dont learn to ride soon I will never do it, so last year I did a riding course. After the course I rode my father in laws suzsuki a couple times and he told buy a small bike to learn on. I thought bugger that so I bought a 09 low rider and love it. Cant stop riding, doing mods, awsome fun and only took couple days to get used to it. I am only 5,8 tall.

I am 5'4" and I love my 07 Low Rider. I bought mine used to replace my 08 Street Bob and I couldn't be happier. The bike rides and handles really well and I love all the chrome. The motor is stock except for the Stage 1 upgrade and she has plenty of power. The 6 speed tranny is is smooth and shifts great (for a Harley). The bike has just the right amount of vibes to it and it is rock steady at tripple digits and it is a lot of fun in tge twisties. This is one my favorite bikes that I have owned and I plan on keeping her for a long time. I think you will be very happy with it. How much are they asking for the bike. I got mine for $9700 with 3600 miles on the clock. It had the Vance and Hines Big Shots, Fuelpak and AC already installed.

I got an 02 Low Rider with only dirt bike experience. I love it. You just need to practice slow maneuvers you will encounter in a parking lot. Go for it and I recommend reading; https://kindle.amazon.com/work/profi...HDM/B004CLYCPM

Not a bad price but I would try and negotiate a lower number. The miles should be no problem as it is about 2000 mils a year and if it was properly maintained it should be fine. The bike would have come with highway pegs from the factory and new tires is always a good thing. My bike has been virtually trouble free. The only issue I am having is the starter clutch is starting to go and I will be changing it in the near future. Other than that the bike has been a blast to ride. Mine came with a full set of Vance and Hines Big Shots which sound great and give very good performance. It does have the FuelPak on it and it works well but if I were buying one today there are better options to go with. The SE slipons should sound nice and give you a little better performance over stock. As far as extra chrome the bike was pretty much chromed out from the factory with the exception of the hand controls (Black) and the front end which is polished aluminum. Eventually I will be chroming the front end but funds are a little tight right now and I have a few other mods to do for right now. Good Luck and I hope you get the bike....
