OP: There is no down side to the extreme low mileage, the low mileage is not going to make the bike worth less.

The bike is obviously in like new condition. You just have to decide if the price is right.

My guess frame, heat, ride and narrow ***. ABS?

http://www.nadaguides.com/Motorcycle...-1584cc/Values

Retail Base Price $21,135 $9,605 $12,640 Options: (change) AM/FM Radio/CD/Aux w/Speakers $217 $369 CB Radio $61 $103 Engine Guards (Chrome) $44 $58 Fairing-Full $196 $261 Saddle Bags (Pair) $233 $273 Travel Trunk w/Rack $50 $66 TOTAL PRICE: $21,135 $10,406 $13,770

Can't add all those options as they are standard equipment on an Ultra Classic. Only thing the add listed that can be added is the GPS, and it is not a 1,000 option. Closer to 550 or 600 new.

While I'm not the guy that posted "pass", I would add too many early 6 speed trans failures, the main shaft bearing. That is an expensive fix

A buddy of mine just parked his Softail standard for the winter. 190 miles last year, 50 this year

That's kind of an old bike for $15000, do a quick search on ebay for Harley ultra and put the price range to $15000 and a ton of newer bikes pop up. I wouldn't pay that much for a bike 09 and older. That's just me.

yeah, now that i thought about it you're right but here's the price without adding options and it is still freaking high.....suggested retail of $21000, low retail of $9605 and a high retail of $12640 http://www.nadaguides.com/Motorcycle...-1584cc/Values
.....thats crazy.

I have had two super low mileage bikes like that in my life. Both were a total PIA to get up and running. People who don't ride them, also do not take care of them. Mechanical things do not like to just sit.
