Default I'm so confused!!

I'm looking at 2 bikes to possibly purchase, but can't decide which one I like the best. Bike #1 is an 02 springer classic with 9K miles on it. It's the coolest color purple, white walls, fishtail pipes, just flatout cool looking, for $12,000.00 (asking price). Bike #2 is a brand new 07 Heritage custom that a gal won in a raffle. 2 miles on it, black, & all stock. She started out at $17,000.00. She just e-mailed me to say she would take $15,000.00 for it.
I'm torn between having a bike that is really different than any bike around here,(bike #1), or one that is more common, but new at a good price. I've never ridden either model, but after riding my Sporty, I imagine either one will be alot morecomfortable on the long rides.

To each their own Rat, but if I had that choice to make, I'd take the new Heritage, espically at that price!

Me...I'd get the Heritage...that's a GREAT price for it and you'll be getting the 96 CI engine and 6-speed.

This 2000 Springer FLSTS is a nice bike with a great ride. We are the 2nd owner and know the 1 owner very well, the bike only has 9,970 actual miles on it. It is Concord Purple or if you are a K-State fan it is K-State Purple. It has always been serviced at the local Topeka Harley dealership. This bike has many extras to numerous to mention. Priced to sell a must see to appreciate. I can be reached at 785-6335691 to arrange to see bike.

Heritage. Its new, has 2 year warranty, is close to $3k under MSRP (not counting fees), has the 96" motor and 6 speed trans and no surprises from a 7 year old bike.

I'll add a different opinion here. OK, not really. You'd becrazy not to pick up a brand new Heritage for $15K.
