Default First bike and I went with this... Good Deal?

Just got this nice bike off Facebook marketplace. This is
my first bike and I think I got a hell of a deal. Still need to get it serviced to make sure but it rides great. 2012 Sportster Forty Eight with 3,000 miles for $4,500.

How would you like to make $100? That gets the GAD seal of approval (good A deal).

Since it is your first bike, and that thing is very powerful, be sure to tell us about your MSF course and your progress. Be very careful and stay safe.

Don't be a drive-by poster :-)

Wow that's a damn good deal. Enjoy! That means more $$$ for mods.

Excellent deal! I'm jealous. I just bought an identical model, but 2015 with 7k on it for $8,000 but it was from a dealer. I'm the third owner and all of the maintenance is up to date. It is also my first bike and so far has been very fun.

Welcome from a fellow Floridian.

As others have said, and I suspect you already knew - good deal!
