Red face Good deal on a Fat Boy?

So, a local indy shop has a 2007 Fat Boy with 342 miles on it. They are only asking 12,900 for it. Seems like a good price to me. Half way tempted to see what they would give me on my sporty as a trade.

If you do... ask 'em for a test ride first. Make sure everything is kosher and if all is well... you won't regret it. Fatboy has always been my bike, ever since I saw James Caan's green raked fatty over 25 years ago... got one now and for me it's the best of both worlds... rips off the line and tours like a convertible caddy (a few mods later though)

A Fat Boy will most likely be my next bike. I love the look and the style, classic and modern at the same time.

Its a fair price if they give you a fair price for the trade in.

Ask em' about the trade in, but usually you can do better if you sell yours and offer them a cash deal, of which they might even come down a little bit more.
Ya never know until you ask.

Price sounds good, but I would sell the Sporty and just buy the Fatboy. You'll come out better this way.

sounds like a good price to me. I was just offered $16,500 for my '08 FatBoy by a dealer..... they said they can't get enough "used" bikes to sell. go figure!

I didn't - I love my FatBoy!!!
