Of the 3 I would chose the 05. I like the color and it only has 3K miles on it (not even broke in yet). Plus it looks completely stock so you can make it all yours and the price is very nice!

A little superstitious are we. Unlucky green.......What BS.

I wouldn't venture to suggest which bike to buy. I don't want to be blamed if it winds up being an albatros.

if I wasn't color blind I could pick your bike for you. So now it's your turn. Pick the one that makes you smile

Same here. I browse the local Craigslist and I've seen that bike recently on there. Love it.

If you can get the 06 Dragonfly Green in the same ballpark as far as price, go for that one!

Pass on the first three but of those the black one is the only one to buy; all motorcycles should be black. Problem with '05s were the heads, bad guide seals.

Go get the '07. For the same price you get the 96B engine and the six speed.

If the green one is too much and you have to pass on it. The black one....hands down.

Green one. Only thing I do not like personally is the scoop. Easy to loose if you do not care for it. The engine had the serrations on the alternator rotor that year(not the splines). Do not buy older then 06. Got the bugs out of them about this year. However if you are not familiar with them (and car engine smarts does not count a whole lot here) pay a good mechanic to listen and check it out before you close the deal. Harleys are tough as nails but they are a lot of hammers running around out there.
