If you are looking for a project bike, I like the late 70s early 80s, the prices are going back up by those years.You can get a 92 1200 Sportster for about the same price as a 78 1000 Sportster. pretty much all the 1200s and 1000s from 78 to 92 are at that same $3000 to $3500 mark IF, in excellent shape.
But then I only paid $5000 for my 09 883 with less than 700 miles on it.

Wait until August. After the first clod day there will be all sorts of bikes for sale at good prices.
You aren't going to get a good deal on anything this time of year.
I bought an 05 roadster with 1200 miles on it in April for $3,500. Dealer wanted $7,000 for same bike.

There are usually several 90's Sportsters on Craigs list in the $3000 range. I just bought a 1995 XLH883 at the Harley dealer for $3000 that's in great shape. It's my doner bike. I plan on making a bobber out of it.
