Default 1st Harley

This will be my 1st Harley, have owned a metric prior to this. Im looking at a few bikes and can't decide. 2006 Dyna Super Glide 35th Anniv. Edition with 4k miles ($10,500), 2009 Fat Bob with 528 miles ($11,500) or a 2011 Dyna Super Glide with 12 miles ($11,999). Any advice would be so helpfull.

I like my Fat Bob! Be sure to negotiate, if it is a Harley dealer you should be able to get a lower price and/ or throw stuff in. Good luck!
