Default 2001 to 2003 Night Trains

I'm looking at buying a 2001 or 2003 Night Train. I'm wondering if these bikes are reliable and if you own one are you happy with your purchase. I have found a few that are going for $10,000 and they both have low milage. They also have a few upgrades installed. I'm going to go from a 2005 Sportster 1200xlc and am worried that buying an older bike may give me problems. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated as I'm really struggling on whether to keep my bike and add to it or buy one of the bikes mentioned.

Thanks in advance

10,000 seems high or those years. I paid 11,800 for an 06 with low miles & new condition

I've got 11k on mine with no problems. $10,000 is pretty good for low miles and good shape.

Thanks for the information, I really like the look of the Train and when I sat on one it fit me perfectly. Have yet to actually ride one yet.
