I thank you all for the advice, suggestions and guidance. In fact I took much of it to heart and quite frankly lucked out in finding a bike! Picked it up yesterday. Check it out:
2011 Sportster 883 SuperLow
Only 540 original miles, one owner
Showroom Condition, kept in a heated shed
Two tone flecked paint - Merlot Sunglo/Vivid Black
Custom pin-striping done on the top of the tank and front & rear fender
IT'S a NEW BIKE!!
Again, thanks to all and I will certainly try and pay it forward, as I gain experience.
Awesome find. There are sooooo many guys who buy new from the dealer who need that status symbol to show off to friends when they come over it aint even funny. A few years later they always sell them.
About a month ago a guy I know bought a new bike that was their demo bike that had more miles than that. They gave him a great deal on it. Since it was buying season and they pretty much had no bikes in stock they gave him a smoking hot deal of selling it to him for MSRP, and he still paid taxes and extras. The stealer was soooo nice to him selling it so cheap to him.
