I dont know, as some one else mentioned, there are so many bikes on sale locally; i'd search local Craig List and Cycle Trader. I would never buy a moving vehicle without a test drive/ride.

Buying your first bike should be a great experience.

Good Luck and be careful.

No don't do it.
Have a good look around, see the bike talk to the owner get a feel for things and see first hand how the bike has lived. If it don't feel good don't do it.

I know you have your heart set on it but I think that's too much. Look around some more.

Sounds a bit high. I just paid $13k for an '09 Night Train with 2400 miles on it, stage 1 mods, pipes, cover and a bunch of other extras. Found it on craigslist and picked it up a couple of weeks ago. They're out there...

I agree with those who say don't buy a bike that you can't check out in person.

I saw a Night Train today with a little over 15K on it for $8995.00 at the local dealership. Can't remember what year it is though. They must have just got it in, it's not on their website yet.
