Default 2007 Soft Tail Deluxe

Hi All,

New to this forum and the world of Harley's and need some opinions. I'm thinking of buying a 2007 soft tail deluxe at a harley dealership listed price of 12,000 w/ 25k miles on it.

Bike appears to be in tip top condition and i've test ridden and it rides great (but only to up to third gear, did not take it on the freeway to test 5/6th gear).

is this a fair price even with 25k miles on it.

I'm tryin to move up from a 750cc honda shadow. This will be my second bike. I'm planning to use this bike for commuting and 2up riding with the wife ect...

You can do better if you keep shopping. 25k miles is a lot of miles for that price. Price seems very steep. SJ Ron

P.S. I also wouldn't recommend a Deluxe if you are over around 5-9 or 5-10 unless you plan on swapping out the seat.

Yep, too high. Its going into the best time of the year to buy. Check craigslist also.... there will be a lot of garage queens, for better prices available.

Found this on Craig's list, don't know where you live but if I was looking I'd be talking to this guy. All kinds of good deals out there, if you're not sure....keep looking.

With that mileage around here, that bike would fetch 9-10k.
