Default Thinking about Buying a Dyna - Questions

I'm thinking about buying another Dyna. I've had a 1999 Dyna Convertible and a 2002 FXDWG in the past and currently have an Ultra.

Couple bikes I have been considering are:

1994 FXDS with 15,000 miles and just had all gaskets replaced at the dealer.
Asking price is $6000 obo.

2002 FXDWG with 65,000 miles, recent dealer service and new tires.
Asking price $6000.

Both bikes are extremely clean and look to be well kept. Do you guys have any opinions on either of these bikes? Guess I'm kind of looking at the trade offs on each. High miles but 10 years old or less miles and 18 years old.

A grand or two more, you can get a much newer bike. Last year I bought a 2006 Street Bob with 5K miles for 7,900...

I would always go as new as possible. That's just me...

I think both those bikes prices are a bit high. I've seen 2006 dyna's starting at 6500.

Thanks for replies guys.

Been looking around this area for last couple months and for the price the two bikes I mentioned are pretty much what you can get. Besides Sportsters.

The Evo won't have the issue with the cam chain tensioners the '02 Twin Cam will ...

Evos are good hard running motors ... but, you are getting an 80" mill vice the TC's 88" (assuming both are stock) ...

I guess both are 5-speed ... however, prices on either of them don't seem all that attractive ...

Are you looking at a dealership ...? I'd check out the craigslist / ebay / other private sale option as well ... just saw on here where a guy bought an early '00s Low Rider for $3,800 ... looked to be good condition / relatively low miles ... from a VW dealer that took it on a trade ...

Good luck ... time to come home to the Dyna side ...

dont limit your search to your area, companies ship bikes for about 300-500, so you can get a much newer bike for less.

its a tough call tho

He could not find anything close to my bike condition/miles for the price by his house
