Default Looking 4 my next Bagger

Ok guys so its time for another Bagger, my first one was an 88 electra glide classic and I loved it.. So it's about 4 years later and my plan worked.. First got the wife a 250cc scooter to practice and get ready for one of her own..She just got a 03 sportster for Christmas so now I just got to sell my old ford and BAM back on the road again..I can't wait

You can get a bagger for under 7K but it will probably have really high mileage or be rode hard. Be patient, it's winter in most places and not a lot or riding going on except here in Dallas, Tx. yesterday, haha.

If your budget is only $7k range then you may want to look for one with a salvage title unless you want something with really high mileage. There are a few nice road kings and ultras that just need some cosmetic work on Craigslist in my area in $5 to $7k range with low miles. Anything else in that price range usually has 80k and up mileage.

If my car sells for 10 then my budget goes to ten..If not I will just get it out of pocket here in the next few months and wait till spring to get rid of the car..Dont really like a salvage title but who knows.. What is considered HIGH miles for a Bagger 50k 60k ?

Not sure I would guess over 60k. For $10k I would think you can find a decent lower mileage bike.

Well I just hit ebay, for your money cash out the door you'll have to get a early 2000's. Some good things about that, lots of aftermarket & basically good motors with good cranks. I'm sure you could dig up a RK, but stay away from the MMI EFI bikes. Its a pain to get tuned, Carb would be my pick.

Good luck.
