Default buying a nice harley

Hey can 10k get you a nice bike? I have a Fatboy 95 with 22k miles selling for 9k Im happy with the mechanics of the bike i have but I am looking for a bagger.
I cant ride much next 2 months as is. Friend has lawsuit payout and he cant wait for a bike. he gets paid in next 2 months. Is 10k enough for someone to feel comfortable getting a nice bike if they dont have one already. I really like road kings and road glides. I want a bike with under 25k miles. Would you guys feel comfortable with this? Debating weather I should do this or not.

In this part of Ohio that would be worth 7-9K. The age is what mainly works against it.
Very nice bike though....trade ya

Nice bike. I need a Bagger. This bike is jus tnot comfortable to me. I dont ride it far because of that. I saw a REALY nice road glide go for 9k had stretched bags and everything. I am hoping I can trade up this Fall. I will keep stacking to the 10k I got (If Possible). Just scary letting go of a bike without another one beside it.

You would be surprised how much better your bike with different bars , I have two friends with RKs that want my Fatboy.
