Thanks everybody.
I checked the bike out last night and it wasn't in as good of shape as it looked on the website. I didn't even give it a test ride because it didn't look as well maintained as I had hoped. I will keep looking for something else.

Soelman, I think you can do better than 24k miles for a used bike. But if you are sold on it, so be it. The last one and current had 1k and 2k via craigslist and KC Harley.
I'd shop around. Granted 24k isn't bad, I just think you can get a lower mileage bike. Whatever you get, take it to a dealer to look over before you sign.

Regardless of the miles, the age might be an issue if a prospective buyer isn't doing the wrenching themselves, depending on where you live. The closest Harley dealer where I live will work on older bikes, and they know their older machines well, but some dealers either won't work on older bikes.

Well, to be precise, it is a 17 year old motorcycle. That averages out to 1400 miles a year. Plus, the price wasn't mentioned in the OP.
