Default 07 Street Bob Question

Looking at an 07 for $5500 with 17k miles. Is this high for this model? Thanks for your input.

Not only is the mileage not too high (would you not buy a car that had 17k?), but the price is easily $2-3000 below market. Unless it's in very poor condition or has been modded in some real undesirable way it sounds like a good deal.

Yeah, if it's in good condition, that's a great deal. Now go get it, and join the ranks of satisfied Harley riders. And then in a year or two, you can trade it in for a Touring bike.

Pretty cheap. I'd be a little wary.

Exactly. My dad has an 09 ultra classic with almost 70,000 miles. He rides in one year what the bike your looking at has been ridden in 6 years. If its in good condition I would jump on it.

Sounds like a really god deal. And in a year or two, you may find that you have no desire at all for a touring bike.
