Appears to be a true garage queen
What do you guys think about a 2007 Ultra with only 449 miles? It can't be good for a bike to only run 64 miles a year. Would you try to talk him waaaayy down and go from there? I'm sure it is a nice bike, but 7 years old and has not even had a 1K service seems fishy.

I think I have a better than average knowledge of motorcycles and were I have bought plenty of them on my own I'd feel a lot better if I had a third party look it over...A bike like that would bring some very unique and specific issues that would need to be addressed..I personally would rather find a bike that was ridden a little...just my opinion..I think seals, rubber, fuel, everything is affected by sitting and not moving...

Throw him a low reasonable offer. Put new tires on it change the fluids and ride the damn thing
Nothing wrong with it and if there is you will soon find out
If you are that worried then buy a new one with a warranty

Probably nothing wrong with it and I would not be afraid, just not at 15,500. It would have to be a lot less than that. I just bought a 2013 Limited with 2,116 miles for 18,500 and 1 year of warranty left.
On Cycle Trader there is a 2012 Limited in Ohio for 17,950 with only 764 miles. Being from Ill. that would not be a big trip for you. If you want the info, let me know. I did talk to the people and had considered it before I got the 2013 a lot closer to home.
NADA lists a 2007 at 12,000 plus change, and I would offer about 10,000.

Ya think you might give a reason why?
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.

wow, based on my old ultra classic options i did a quick estimate...i didn't expect the used book price to be so high. even so, his price is higher, I'd throw a low retail number at him
