A few years back my OL and I bought 2 bikes. SHe bought a Dyna, I bought an RGU. We switched off when we rode. I had that RGU for 160 miles, then I caught her cheating on me. I did not want that bike anywhere near me. My dealer showed extreme mercy on me. I had a buddy who bought a Dyna, his car got stolen 6 months later, sold the bike as he needed to work. My best friend bought a Breakout and passed from a heart attack at 51 3 months later...

Maybe this guy lost his job, maybe he bought too much bike and he couldnt ride it...

Who knows... $hit happens...

I don't see what the question is. The man has a bike for sale that's a good deal, mostly because he upgraded about everything on it. In the end he's really asking about what it is worth. For someone that wants what he put on the bike it is a deal. Jump on it.

Agree. It's not priced ridiculously high. His description is a little over the top, but a good sales person always adds a little flare.

Also remember he probably owes on the bike.
