Default Whats it worth??

I am looking for a second bike, and lately have been stuck on a Springer Softail (21" front wheel), but I have seen prices all over the place.

I found a 93 Springer Softail with 34k for $5500....is that a good price? Bike is in nice shape, clean title, never wrecked. I would like to leave myself some room to atleast break even if I decide it isn't for me. I am spoiled by the ride of my SG, but am thinking of expanding my horizon with a softail in the garage as well.

My question: Is $5,500 a good price for a 19 year old bike with 34k? I just don't want to overpay.

That seems to be about the bottom for Springer prices.

Sounds pretty good! I don't see many Harleys any cheaper unless it's a Sportster!
