Default Used vs. New... Night Train

sweet one at a dealer in Pennsylvania called American Classic Motors. Except i'm in Chicago. Also, it has 7500 miles on it (2006). Same price as a stock 2007. She is done up the way i want.... would cost me $4,000.00 to do it on the 2007. Stuck on decision..... thoughts ?

?????? Mabie flip a coin????????? 7500 miles aint much. Ifn it would save you money in the long run I go with the used. But a t the same price is same as new , you would be getting the newer 96" motor. Dang, mabie just flip a coin?????????[8D]

Because there's a difference in model year I would go with the new bike. You can add the bling-bling over a period of time.

I'd go with the 96" motor and the 6 speed tranny and then start customizing one piece at a timeto make it "Your Bike". [sm=smiley20.gif]

But that's just me!

i found that place by mistake one day....... i can tell you this- they really arent a 'dealer'. more of a VERY small store-front witha storage bay. i would buy parts, not bikes from them.

however, i havent had any dealings with them

New. 6 speed + 96 inch is worth it. Then make it your own. Thats part of the fun.

If it were an 05 and a new 06 I would say go for the used and save $4000. since that mileage is almost break in mileage. But with the 07 you get a 96 motor and a 6 speed tranny. I would have to go new and buy the bling a little at a time.[:-]
