Might as well buy a new one. $7500 for a pre-owned is DUMB. They're $8k NEW!

 

I think 7500 is a bit steep as well. Though you didn't mention what year and miles.

You can throw a 1250 kit in there from NRHS along with some stage 2 headwork. That would make it a completely different machine.

Give Dan a call over at NRHS Performance, he knows his ****.

 

Based on that info, Blue Book lists it between $6,517 and $7,661 for retail. I went on cycletrader.com but didn't see any listed in your area so couldn't compare.

With some haggling you should be able to get the price down by a few hundred, Good luck.

 

yea that price does seem a little high but see what you can do ( bought my 2010 new otf for 8k ) so something to consider ...

 

I have one for sale!! 2010 Iron 3,100 miles

I like mine alot. Soo many mods you can do for little cash, or DIY.

 

Can get plenty out of the motor with just a little work. Bumped my displacement up to 1200 (NRHS didn't have the 1250 kits available when I did mine), NRHS air cleaner, D&D bobcat exhaust, some performance cams from H-D and larger fuel injectors. Plus I sent my heads and throttle body down the road to Baisley for some modification. After quite a few hours on the Dyno I ended up breaking 100/100 although not by much. Can't find the Dyno sheet because my office is a mess but I want to say it was about 108HP and 102ft/lbs.

 

Whatever it takes to work a deal, sometimes you gotta pay a little more to get friend-financing. Is it still under factory warranty? I love my Iron. after all the charges through the state and dealer, I ended up at just over $9000. Good luck and welcome to the forum

 

The sporty is an awesome bike but again I'm a first time rider and Harley Owner. Within the first 3 mos of ownership I have done so many mods and chose to do them myself to save on the $$$. I purchased my 2010 for $6,500 with only 6 miles on it (tax free). Good luck with your purchase.

 

It's a blast!! The off the line quickness is insane compared to almost everything I have ever owned. The only thing that was quicker was my Buell 1125R, but getting my *** on and off that thing was like unfolding a rusty lawn chair. Kinda sad though that it blows my CVO SG out of the water. May have to work on that one next so it doesn't get a complex.
