If he's happy and it's clean that's all that counts ! ! ! ! ! ! The part about the "OLD FART" hurts though ! ! ! !

Thanks to all, you've reinforced my own thoughts. He's happy, so that's all that really matters. And I think he got a fair deal... Yea, the "Old Fart" thing, well, I've learned to roll with it. At least I'm on the right side of the grass... Thanks again to all that responded.

Are you talking miles or dollars? Just confused because he bought the bike for $12,500 and it has 13,100 miles on it.

At any rate, I say that if he's happy then he got a great deal. And the price sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I got 15K for my 05 Deluxe. Had a 95", 14,000 miles and goodies, I would say he did good. Sure did not get ripped off.
