I have chance to buy a 2105 Street with detachable wind shield, backrest ect with 350 miles on it at a good price. Think about buying it for my granddaughter. been riding HD for 40 plus years just never anything like the street.

 

The street is a good beginner's bike. I would recommend watching youtube reviews to get a sense of it. I have a 2016 Street and it is a good around town bike. As far as what to look for, there are a few things:

One thing to be aware of is the 2015 model does not have as good as brakes as the later models.

There was also a recall on fuel pumps of that model year, so you should ask about that.

 

Bike is from a dealer I have done business with for half a life time. Any warranty/recalls would have been done . The brake thing is it some solved by better calipers?
I have not make up my mind yet but for the price it would be a good option for her at 19, I think.

 

Heck with I purchased it.

 

Congrats on the bike purchase, to you and your lucky grand daughter! It looks like that bike already has a Bassani slip on?

BTW, I believe the brake changes were a new master cylinder and caliper. Overall, something that shouldn't be too hard to upgrade on your own if you feel the need to.

 

Now she can go ridin' with Granpa. Cool! Congrats!

 

Has she taken the class already?

 

Yes it does but coming off sounds like Chit with it. We can do better I think. Looking at ideas for it . Kind of fun to ride . I have not ridden a bike of this type in many years, kind of scary.

 

I currently have the stock exhaust, it's very quiet. Sounds good when you open it up, but at idle it's very subdued. I was hoping someone like Vance and Hines would come out with a full 2 into 2 exhaust for it, but nothing yet. I inquired with them a ways back and they said they weren't going to develop anything beyond the slip on.

There are a number of slip ons out there if you want to change it.

Like Norty said, if she hasn't already she should take the MSF class.

 

She will do the course at HD . It is a good one.
I have though about taking the CAT out. Easy to get to no cutting of the pipe required. Stock pipe is quiet maybe a night stick may be in the cards.
This bike will get some mods. Just what and when is what her and I need to figure out.
