I agree, the markets flooded with used bikes right now. Plus, this is the slowest time of the year for bike sales. The dealers should be willing to dicker.

 

Main thing is the bike's condition and how it's been ridden. Stock condition is a strong positive indication that it's been conservatively ridden. Now get the bike's service history if you can. On a bike this clean, dickering over a grand is useful--to a point, and that point is reached mucho soon. After a year or two, you'll have spent way more on accessories & tuning goodies than the difference in purchase price anyway. Ride safe!

 

When you buy a bike from a dealer in CA, have just have a paper tag that's an advertisement for the dealer (not a temp DMV tag like in other states). You walk into a dealership.....doesn't have to be an HD one.....tell any salesperson, that your dealer tag fell off....plates are delayed......whatever...and they'll give you another paper tag....no questions asked. I save my dealer tags anyway. (For example....see my Triumph's tag shortly after I got it.....on the right)

 

Easy for you to say in Georgia, I went to 6 dealers HD and independent and found a total of 7 used RK's. They are a very popular bike in socal. From whats in the area I made a decent deal. IMO

 

Bike was purchased and serviced by the dealer I bought it from, other than the fact that it was pretty dirty it was well kept and traded on an Ultra.

 

Talked to the dealer today, Dunlop is on strike or something so we are going with Avon Venom WW tires. I'm gettin antsie to ride, havent rode since May. This is the longest time I've EVER gone without ridin!!! I hope it will be ready tomorrow. We're supposed to get more weather on Sat.
