I agree. Just be aware, there are a lot of very patriotic Americans who ride bikes and who also love our president. Leave the Brandon crap at home. It’s needlessly offensive.

Now THAT hurt, lol. You guys warned me not to sell it, and you were right. Some day I may get another, but right now prices are thru the roof. Sold mine in 2000 for $4100 and now they are getting over $6K.

This is my bike when I first bought it in mid 2020



This is how it looks now with the sissy bar on




And this is what it looks like with the sissy bar off

On a side note I don't even have the slightest problem riding 2 up on this, to be honest I actually prefer the extra weight.

i have owned and sold 3 of them; a 2007 Nightster, 2012 Seventy Two and a 2012 Iron. I have been casually looking for another unmolested, low mileage and clean Iron. I want a 2016-2018 model in denim black. It will take some time in this market but that is okay with me. I suspect after the feds hit us with 2 more half-point interest rate hikes and they start unwinding the balance sheet, prices are going to soften. By then, we will be at the end of the riding season and might be in a recession. It might even be a buyers market…we’ll see.

I really miss owning a Sportster. I have never had one as my only bike but they sure are fun.

I almost picked up a 2016 72 a while back and I probably should have grabbed. It wasn't what I would call mint but I could have had it for $3,500. bucks.

Sounds like a crazy good deal!
