absolutely, please stick with a safe buy rather than something that you're unsure of. a harley dealer i know might cost a bit more, but they get trade ins all the time. they gotta sell them to someone, right? that way you've got a legitimate dealer rather than joe out in bugtussle oklahoma telling you that it's an absolute gem. and that joe might not be interested in being ethical or honest about his product. buyer beware, a risky deal, or one that sounds almost too good to be true, could become very expensive.
