Need some advise
I have the opportunity to buy a 2007 Ultra Classic with around 60,000 miles on it for around 10 grand. This will be a second bike in addition to the king, it has new cruise module, new drive belt and pulley, new brakes and tires. Comes with V&H true duals, heavy breather ac, fuelmoto fuel pak. owner says never laid down, ridden daily, and locally serviced. Is there anything I need to be concerned with as far as the high mileage of the bike, I did the math and thats about 10,000 a year. also do you think the price is fair?? just looking for some opinions before I take the trip to look at it.
Thanks

I would save the 10K and ride the RK and wait to buy a new one or another used one with less miles, but that is just me. I found my 04 RKC with 4500 miles on it for 11,000

If I do this I am still keeping the RK and adding this one to the stable as well... Wife wants an Ultra for longer trips (comm system, stereo etc...) I am attached to my RK and really don't want to trade it in just yet but that option is on the table as well.

Ultra is a great touring bike but the miles are a bit high for the price imo. When I bought my EGC I paid 10 grand and it only had 20,000 miles. Bad time of year to find super deals being the season and all, but I would hold out for something with less miles if it were me. They are out there. Good luck what ever you decide
