Looks like a helluv a deal. I have an 04 Deuce and will probably be asking 13 12 K for mine in Spring. Mind you i have lots and lots of Chrome Mods and add ons. I know i know . I can't expect to get out what $ i put in.

Look for clean title and not salvage.


Long time back I was on a different forum, ATV's. A guy posted a great deal and asked members about it. While he was posting another member saw it and bought it out from under him. Careful when you post ads

Sounds like a good deal, but check and make sure there not salvage titles for that price, if so beat him down on the price, some people will not buy a bike that has salvage title, if you were going to resale them.

Might be a good deal, but you'd obviously want to see them first and check the titles.

Nope, way to high. I wouldn't pay over $10K for both. It's obvious he hasn't taken very good care of either one. Plenty of hints in the ad that maintenance is not a priority this owner.
I don't need someone else's problems.

I would obviously take a look first, but sounds like a good deal to me and would be a screaming deal if you can get him down to say, 11.5 for both.
