For the most part it's color....

30K for a 14-16 year old bike is barely broken in as long the oil has been changed.

IMO, next to my Heritage Springers, the Badboy was the best looking bike HD built... The night train before the Night Train......

I couldn't agree more. When the Badboy was released in 96 I was determined to buy one by 97. But then the Heritage Springer was introduced ... hook, line & sinker!

Nice Busa. I ride a sportbike too. The main visual difference other than scallop color is the speedo cable running to the front hub on the 1995. Prices vary depending on where you are, how many available at the moment, and why the seller is selling (need cash, testing the water, etc), and of course condition. You can use classifieds for a reference but it's not absolutely accurate. Some guys have no desire to sell but post an ad just to see what they can get. Good luck and check in with the BB thread here.

In 96 they changed the hand controls as well as the speedo. Also the front master cylinder changed in 96.

Check out LowCountryHarley.com in Charleston, SC. They
have a '96 with Yellow stripes. I think it has 14,000+ miles.

Too bad you're not a little closer to MD. I've seen this bike in person and it's VERY nice. If I had the money right now I'd be showing pics of it in my garage.
