Soon to be Harley owner (hopefully). Could use some help.
Hey y’all! I’m new here and I don’t have a Harley yet but I’m gonna pick one up soon I just need some help deciding. I’ll make it short and sweet. I don’t really want to spend more than $8000. This bike would be my daily reliable bike and rack up miles pretty quick. I really dig the look of the Sportster Seventy-Two but worry about the smaller 1200 motor on the freeway (regularly 80+ mph in my area). So I was looking at Dynas also but with my budget I’d have to go a bit older (like 2005-2008 ish). So would it be a better bet to get a newer low mileage sportster or slightly older dyna with maybe 10k miles? That’s about my only concern. I’m not really worried about comfort I’m still young.
