Default New Bike?

Need an opinion on a new bike purchase. My brother is looking at a 2002 heritage with only 2600 miles. It has pipes, a few add ons and a custom paint job. He can get it for $13,500. Is this a good price? The engine is virtually brand new and the bike was taken all over in an enclosed trailer. Owner has all receipts for parts and service.

Sounds ok but I would try to get it lower, who knows, offer them $12,500 and go from there.

That few miles could be BAD. Hopefully they at least started it occasionally and let it warm up..

That price is right in the ball park. We just sold a 2001 with 25,00 miles on itfor 10,500. offered it for 13,000 with3,000 of extras and got no takers. Took the extras off and sold it for thelesser amount.
