Default How much??








How much would you pay for this bike if you were in the market?

Is $7500 too much?

It looks like a 2003 1200 custom with stock exhaust (pipes) and probably stock A/C as well, meaning no stage 1 as of yet. It does have some nice chrome engine covers, and Screaming Eagle mufflers. It also has a $40.00 fork bag. It also has stock handle bars. The seat has some custom work on it as well (stock custom, probably), and possibly leather. It also has a big twins horn, and a fancy chrome tail light cover with license plate frame. The mirrors are custom as well. The rear has been lowered, also (possibly stock custom; don't know). Stock forward controls that come with all customs.

No windshield or sissy bar, though, and no bags. No luggage rack.

$7500.00 is probably not too bad of a price when there is a big demand and a small supply, if it runs good and is in good mechanical condition. I would probably initiate not more than a $6000.00 offer for it, and see what they say. They most probably won't let it go at that, but it will make you look more sober-minded; that is, if you're thinking about buying it.

2003's had nice trim and tank designs.

I've seen worse buys, and I've seen better, so in my opinion, it's somewhere in between. It'sa fairly nice bike with few frills.

I also like the color.

And I would rather have one of these than a newer EFI model.

And by the way, someone left the gas on, on it.

Oh golly, I missed it, it also has windshield mounts, too,so it probably also has a shield to it as well.

It's looking even better.

Zeb has it pretty well nailed, but I also see upgraded rear light, upgraded mirrors, lay-down licence plate holder, studs for mounting hard saddlebags and aftermarket passenger pegs. All in all, it is a nice bike, but it is still a hard mounted engine. Be sure and ride it all thru the rpm range in high gear to check for any vibration that is unacceptable. ............... BC

I'm not much into guessing what a bike is worth... as it has as much to do with the buyer as the book value...

The bike looks pretty good... I guess the mileage ain't bad as my '05 has twice that...

I kinda wonder why the clutch cable is intertwined with the front brake line though...

Might want to look close at other things too and ask questions...
