Yes, bike appears clean/ unmolested.
Maybe a good purchase.
Battery, tires, misc = maintenance x < $1000, perhaps.
We are near the winter season plus this is an estate sale, so cash and little sentiment may get the deal done.
Good luck.

.02 comment, Sportster values.
Looks like a $5.7K bike (very clean/ not crashed).
But valuation ranges around $2.5K, I'd be hesitant to sell mine at those valuation amounts.

This is the "Low" model (X1200L) ... Mids are Std.

I am one who will pay more than something is worth for an unmolested example, but I think the asking price is a bit optimistic. $4k would be more in line with what I'd "overpay."

Just my 2c... In 2010 my 2007 XL1200L had 10,000+ miles on the odo when I bought it for about $5100. It looked almost exactly like the one in this estate sale except that mine came with mid-controls, highway pegs, a sundowner two-up seat with backrest and rack, Harley saddlebags, a loud WOLO horn and a 19" Harley sports windscreen. So. $5700 today is overly optimistic.

I see dozens of them on my local Marketplace, and I'm on there just about every day looking. The asking price is usually between $2500-$3500 depending on the condition and model.

The $2500 ones sell quick. The ones above $3500 stay listed forever until the seller drops the price.

I bought it new.
If nothing obvious needs replacing or maintenance - tires, brakes, motor mounts, rubbers etc and it starts, runs and rides good I’d make a respectable off if you are going to ride it and not hack it up. Originality adds value IMHO.
Start $4K if you really want it but set your limit providing there are no issues. I expect the battery to be iffy or gone unless the owner was a regular rider who used a battery tender. But 3K for one of these seems way too cheap.
You do know these are among the most reliable bikes to come outta Milwaukee…! Also cheap to keep…
My 2¢

The values listed make nice examples a bargain.

My XL1200R 2007 bought new.

Just cause you would not sell yours for that doesn't mean it's not the value. Have you seen the classifieds here? Bikes who's owners love them sit forever. They never say what they get.

5700 seems high, 2800 maybe low.

I like the blue.

Send me the forwards and I'll send you my mids...................But check to see if 2005 and 2007 interchange. Master cyl may mount different and I'm not sure when they changed.

Yup, my bad. I forgot the Custom had the laced wheel upfront and other visual clues like the headlight.

2004 to 2013 Sportster models have their rear brake reservoir on the left hand side, the master cylinder is mounted behind the motor.

2014 to 2022 Sportster models have both the reservoir and the master cylinder on the right hand side of the machine.
