Price is not bad with a side car.Lets say they bought it at the first of the model year so that would be about 15,000 plus a year.They didn't let any dust settle on it for sure.If its been taken care of,those miles are not going to hurt anything

IF you want a side car- they are hard to come by these days.
make sure that the fork rake is set up for the sidecar and the mounts and braking system are all ok- basically all factory parts, no bailing wire or duct tape.
That is kind high mileage considering that if mounted from new, the motor has been dragging around an extra 400 pounds.
but if you do want a sidecar, your options are limited.
if you just want an ultra, you can do better.

The idea of what high mileage is varies with a lot of people. The rider that does 1k a year might think 20k is high. Or if you do 30k a year maybe over 100k is high.

I just sold my 07 with 55k, when I was talking to a sales manager at one of my local dealers, he was telling me that anything over 50k becomes harder to sell. But its all in the eye of the beholder.
