Not any major biggie differences from 1984 till 2017 yeah I know twin cam and now M8 but all in all its a vtwin . Get an older bike give it the paint job you want. Then grab you a crate motor 117 120ci 124 127 etc. Throw in a 6 speed Trans gears. Boom you will have a bike you love more power than any of the new bikes and your budget would be around 12 grand. New bikes are nice and all but 30-40k is down payment for a house territory or a nice 68 ss Camaro.

getting the 16 and upgrading later? Lots of $$$ lost. Getting the 17 and 6 year extended service plan, priceless. Or wait till the 18's come out.. or rumor has it the 19's have a better front end, and the 20's will have a modern direct injection, and 21's .....
