You already bought it! What are you going to do if we say you spent too much? Take it back? Hate the bike forever?

The time to worry about price is before you buy something. Now it's just time to ride....

Wick, I'm going to say that's a fair price, mainly because of the low miles. Looks like it was garaged too.

Good brakes are never a poor expense on a bike. I just renewed my rotors and pads before my recent trip to Florida. Feels great to have new brakes with all the cages out there trying to kill us.

I had (2) 2008 SG's and loved them both, in fact both were the exact same color color as yours. I believe that you got a better than fair deal and the fact that you like it so much is a bonus. Beautiful bike!!

Yeah, Rule Number 127: "Never ask if you got a good deal AFTER you've done the deal."


There's always gonna be at least one hater telling you paid way too much and he would have gotten the same bike with half the miles for half the money.


There's only one person who gotta feel good about the deal - YOU. And if you feel good, you got a good deal, simple as that.


Now get out there and put a lot more miles on that SG!

Nice ride and a fair deal I'd say, but yes just a tad late to be asking if you got a good deal, since it is already done.
Happy motoring!!

Looks like you got a good deal but I really can't tell much about it without riding it for a couple weeks . You can bring it by any time.

Lots of people may think you stole it, while others think you overpaid. Harleys are like women.....they're all expensive, but fun to ride! Btw, I think you paid too much (just kiddin')......but damn, that's a sweet looking ride. Enjoy and ride safe!

Ride it for a year, by then you will know for sure if it was a good deal.
