That is one good looking sled. IMHO, Springers seem to ride much better than standard forks. The price is a tad high for an '02;around here that would be a 10grand bike at most. But with a 3 year warranty--yea, I'd go for it. '02s seem to be the best year, too.
BTW I like the blackwalls. Only like WWs on a white bike. But that's just me.

I own a softail but not a springer. I have ridden them before but never owning one. I can only go from my personal experiance. If you buy that bike you will never look back and be sorry you did so. They are sweet sleds for sure. It's a nice bike and if it were around here I am not to sure I would be standing 2nd inline to buy it should you pass on it, even at that price. I would, most definatley, have them throw on the wide whites before I drove it off of their lot. It would truly "bad ***" that bike to the bone. Its a nice sled and for aropund here and it being a dealer not a bad price. It is a tad high but not bad enough to turn me away from it. Good luck Dude, buy it and enjoy it for years to come.

Love my Springer so I'm in the yes camp too. Love the ride too.
As for the price, for a dealer is seems OK. There's a 2000 Springer at my local dealer with some gaudy add-ons for $14,995 with 14k miles. Mine's a 99 and I paid $6,700 private party with 9,600 miles. It needed rocker box gaskets, a starter drive and new tires. KBB was about $10k for my bike when I bought it.

Have a Springer Classic. Handles great and the springer front end looks cooler than you-know-what.
Don't walk, RUN back to that dealer and get it before someone else does.
3 year warranty easily offsets the slightly higher price IMO.
That is a sweet looking bike. You'll never regret it.
