Default Thoughts on this superlow

Hey all I will be getting my money soon from the accident and I saw this really nice superlow the other day. I am wondering if $8,200 is a little high for the bike? It has short shots exhaust a screaming eagle heavy breather and big lockable bags on it. It only has 1800 miles on it.

KBB Retail: $6750
KBB Tradein: $4920

If you're used bike shopping, you're going to almost always do better price-wise purchasing from an individual. Assuming excellent condition, a fair private sale price is usually somewhere between retail/tradein. Money spent on accessories is rarely recouped when the vehicle is sold.

Thanks you guys for the input. I cant really buy from a private seller because nobody anywhere near me even in de and md has no superlow for sale. I found a couple other dealers that have 2011's for 7500 but they are bone stock and have more then 1800 miles or close to it. Also chappy I saw new ones are a little cheaper but they are stock. That means I got buy bags for the bike from somewhere.

Seems rather high for the few mods. I walked out the door with my 2011 superlow for $6100 then moded it myself. Have you checked what kind of deals you can get on a new bike?

Bought a brand new stock 1200 Custom last summer for 8815.00 no freight or setup fees + 99.00 Doc fee. Mod a little at a time as your wallet allows and do it your way........
