The best bargains are garage queen Harley's purchased in the dead of winter from desperate sellers in cold climates. Ron

I get the idea behind these "Curated Content Editor" postings, but come on. Could you please at least make a semblance of an effort to make them accurate?

Added selling motivations that benefit the bargain hunter are, divorce, lost job, home foreclosure and dog died..especially the last one.

The Curated Content Editor is pure garbage. Get rid of it. Not one of them has had any value.

Obvious typo as I am sure they meant 99.

Article was meant to ID low cost bikes. What's wrong with that?

I guess we are wrong to expect accuracy. That's right up there with how a lot of news is reported these days.

To me, Evo's are a real bargain right now and good bikes can be found sometimes for as little as $3,500.

To put it in perspective, you can buy 10 Evo's for the price of one new CVO Street Glide.

Even if the intent was to type 1999; that would be wrong too. Softails didn't get the TC88 B until 2000.

Can I get someone from Internet Brands to contact me so I can get paid?
