Hi new here. Sold my sportster last spring and wanting a softail. I have found a couple 2007 standards for 11000. ONE HAS 4000 miles on it, and vance and hines pipes. would this be a decent price on this model? Thanks Z

Sounds like a good price to me considering the mileage. At 4k everything should be good to go, just do the 5k service when (if) you buy it then you can have peace of mind knowing everything is fresh. I would jump on it, pretty sure that was the last year the Standard was made.

To me it would depend on if the bike was painted with a gloss color or that flat black color (Cheapest of the Softtails) also. It would also depend on if it was a no chrome from the factory or a bike with at least a little chrome.

Flat black was not a color option for 2007. The FXST comes from the MOCO without chrome covers on the engine. It's a silver (natural) color. In 2007, they also produced the FXSTC (Softail Custom), that has a black highlighted engine, different seat, sissy bar, and handlebars.

IMO the price is pretty good if it checks out. I'd suggest taking it to a mechanic to have it checked out.

Greetings,
I'd go for it...I was very close to buying an 07 Standard in Blue...Ended up going with the Night Train instead.

As others have said: If the bike checks out with that low milage and you do the 5K service then go for it. Nice thing about a Standard is everything you do to it makes it uniquely your bike and not so Standard anymore.
