Default What to buy

Had an 06 street glide traded it for a 04 ultra. Sold the ultra when my daughter needed money for college. Been with out a bike for 5yrs. Can't afford new. Not sure what 15k will get me in the used market. Liked the street glide the best. Any suggestions for the best bang for the buck.

Have you checked out Craigslist in your area? Might find a nice garage queen.

Should have lots of options for $15k. 2009 or newer, I wouldn't worry about a SG or Ultra etc. Just find the best deal with the lowest miles. Craigslist, Ebay, Dealers websites, Cycle Trader, CVO Harley etc

Don't worry about looking out of your price range...... The old "show them the money" is hard for someone to turn down when it's right in front of them.....

But be respectful at the same time....

I bought my 2011 Electra Glide Classic last July for $13,500. 42k miles. Bone stock. It was a rental from New York state. Best deal I found.



Edit: it's a 96" not a 103.

Cop bike turn ins are usually priced reasonably.

15k is what I would take for my Ultra if I decided to sell it (got about 13K more in it).......it has several very functional mods done to it as well as the appropriate chrome add ons.....and I would rather have SG if was just me that rode it....but the wifey likes the "queen seat" and the extra room the tour-pac provides when we travel. So, I guess I'll just keep the ol' Ultra until she refuses to ride anymore! Guess this didn't help you much, but hey, it bumped your thread up!

There's a 2013 Road King with 2500 miles on it in my area. It has an HD warranty until 2018. He's asking $15000
