My thoughts would be that after owning a Rushmore model (after having owned several pre-2014's) I would not own another pre-2014.

2014 FLHP - 13k (dealer is firm)
- Stock with 3.5k miles, was training bike (don't like that fact), not the color I like

2012 FLHP- 13.5k (said is flexible) private sale
- Lots of chrome, sissy bar/pad, stock RK seat, passenger foot boards, rinehart slip ons and handlebar speakers. Color I like. 6K miles, bought with 700 after being a parade bike for a local small town

Thoughts?

If it were me, I'd go to work on #1. Try to get the price down to $14k or so. It's a new bike with the color you want, AND it's never seen law enforcement duty.

AFAIK, all police bikes have had ABS for a very long time.
