I bought my SG from the dealers rental fleet with just over 12k on her and now it has over 20k and I have not had a problem. If the price is right, why not?

RE: Would you buy a rental ?
But I think there is a difference in the type of person (not always) and the type of driving one does when one rents an economy car for their buisness trip and a motorcycle or sportscar for a vaction. I don't beatup or push the Ford POS I get when I rent on a buisness trip, but if for some reason I ended up aith a sportscar I'd probably drive it a little harder. By the same tolken, if I'm renting a bike, and even more so if it's a model I've never ridden, I'm probably gonna want to see what it can do...

Most people beat rentals harder than if they owned it. my 2 cents.
Tell him $12,500 if you really like it.

In 05 I bought a demo (05)w/ 290 miles on it for a great price. A month later I had a big bore kit installed, as far as I'm concerned it took care of any beating it took. Two years and no problems.

Sounds like you did OK. With the warranty you will be covered if there happens to be a problem.
Have fun and keep us posted.

I have a line on a 2007 road glide rental from my dealer. 7200 miles for $14,700. Price is right and the miles don't bother me . what I feel bad about is 45-50 diffrent riders put those miles there. that is a lot of trips to red line and bounces off the rev limiter. My question to the members is would youbuy it ? Would you sleep good thinking about after you bought it ? The price is too good to just say no ,and they gave me a good offer on my trade.Thanks
