Heli...

Thats a nice bike...I'd offer $14500 & probably wind up settling for $15k even. I think that would be a fair deal. For an '06 you'd be looking at around 20k w/ tax. I love the Heritage. In another year or so, I plan on getting one so my Sportster has a big brother in the garage with him...lol. Good luck with your decision.

Good choice!. I bought my first Harley 3 weeks ago and went with the 2003 Heritage Classic. $15,000 would be a fair deal for both you and the seller. To give you an idea, I paid $15,500 for mine and had 1,500 miles with the hard bags, V&H pipes, stage 1, and layback license plate bracket upgrades. I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage if it has been well maintained. Like Warriorhd said, offer 14,500 and see what happens...he will probably split the difference. Enjoy!

Thanks for the pic of the bike, looks great from here. It sounds like a good deal and you have been given some good advice about trying to get it even cheaper. A lot of people like to dicker when buying something because they have a lot of fun doing it and they can usually save some money. Good luck on your attempt at the new to you Classic.

That is one perty bike. Don't let it get away for a couple hundred dollars. If you like it, go for it.

Well I'm not much of a negotiator so 15200 is the final. He is giving me some extras like trim rings, a radio/cd player, passenger footboards, and a leather tour pack so I'm very happy......unfortunately I have to wait to Thursday to pick it up....Thank-you all for your comments.
