to buy or not to buy
"AN 09 with 5000 is barley broken in....09 have the new frame also."
Does this apply to Softails?
I too am between new or used so I can make it the way I want. Found a nice 07 Night train close but there is an 09 3 hours away. Does that make a differnece with Night Trains?

Nothing wrong with a 2-3 yr old bike usually, make sure its not been wrecked.
Mine didn't feel really broken in till 15k.
Usually U'll get one thats already had stg1 at least, sometimes even cams.
I've bought 7 used bikes and have never got screwed. Either U need to know how to check one out or pay someone to do it.

Are the bikes at the dealership getting stale? I haven't seen many HD changes that make me want to wait around, but I prefer to buy used anyhow (everything, guns, motorcycles, cars, guitars, etc.).

Buy now. You never know, there could be a headline in the paper in a few months that says " Harley davidson purchased by Victory". Then that awesome new model that you were waiting for will turn out looking like a air compressor and a 747 had sex

Hell, I'd buy it now. But then, I'm an old guy and even if I am lucky enough to wake up tomorrow morning I can't be sure everything will be working.
