Night train okay for first bike?
I was pretty much set to get a Nightster, but then I saw an 06 Night Train with some aftermarket stuff on it. Looked really nice.
Is that too much Bike for a first bike?
Also, what's a fair price for a 06 Night Train with 10000 miles on it?

I was going to get the nightster for my first bike in november, I love the old look and the price. If you look into how cool those bikes looked when customized they are awesome!
Last Saturday I got the bike I really wanted, the Rocker C!! it is still my first 20k 1500 cc bike and if you ask me, it is not too much bike for me. IT IS THE BIKE I WANTED!!!
Do not settle for anything less than what you want unless you can't afford it and you are dying to ride. Be careful as I've been for the past four days and ride!
I know I'm not a "seasoned rider" but I know what I like and what makes me happy!
By the way, all the bikes look good when moded right!

Last Jan. I paid $11,500 for an 06 with a few mods on it. I thought I got a pretty good deal as it hadn't got it's first scatch on it in a little over 6,000 miles. I quickly took care of that when I had a screwdriver slip about a week after I got it.

My wife is 5'1". She never had ridden a motorycle in her life. I put her in the Harley safety motorcycle class and when she passed we bought her a Heritage Softail Classic. We modded it to fit her. Long story short: We went to Yellowstone last year (2000 miles) on our Harleys.
Yes, any bike you want for a first bike will be just fine.
My advice: Buy used!!! You can get great deals right now. However, if you have to buy new, plan on getting a good deal too.
My deal went like this: You can buy an 09 Cross bones and we will take off all dealer fees and give you a $500 gift card. Or, you can buy an 08 Cross Bones and we will take off $1500 and give you $500 card. Which one do you want?
I bought the 08 Bones because it was basically the same bike. This was last August before things really took a dump too. Surely, you can get better deals than that now.
Good luck!
