More like wasted. It’s a cool looking bike but as far as investments go, he’s gonna take a serious hit. I wouldn’t pay more than $25k and that’s because I like the look...

Seriously wasted! I'd give $20k since it's a used low mileage StreetGlide Special. All of the customizing, mods, and DoDads mean nothing on the resale market.

Yeah some people have more dollars than sense. I wish I had 70,000.00 to just blow away on a bike.

Other than the red, I like the look of the bike. But not for $86,000.

While in Sturgis we went to Rapid City HD. They had many customizes trikes. The highest priced one I saw was $74000. I didn’t know you could add so many accessories.

People often forget, Harley is not an investment. The same for any work done on the bike along with any customizing and modifications. It also depreciates in value over time.

Otherwise that would mean my bike (2010 SG) is now valued at over $25k. Instead it is valued at around $10 to $12k. It's not an investment, it's reality!

What's the old saying "You can't fix stupid" and I'm sure the seller really thinks he will get a return on his investment. Good luck pal.
