undre my pics and the background on my page is the bike

 

I don't think it is. Within this month I bought a used 05 1200 C with appx 1,000 in extras (windshield, pegs, etc). It had 1300 miles and I got it for 8150.00. It was on eBay and admittedly I had to fly from Tucson to Nashville to get it and ride it back. However, I didn't consider that cost as part of the bikes cost because I usually pack up and take off on some mini-adventure about once a month anyhow. This was an opportunity to take a long trip in only one direction. It was a hoot.

When you consider that the Sporster engine has been rubber mounted since 2004, there is a huge difference in the one you're looking at and the ones that have been made starting in 04. To me the more recent model is much more desirable, especially if you plan any trips. On my return from Nashville I had two 10 hour days and even though I'm going on 72 I never had any numb or tingling hands, feet or butt. That says alot for rubber mount.

It's my opinion you do some more shopping.

 

what does everyone else think

 

Nice looking bike!!

It might sell for that price, but could take a while to find the right buyer.

The add-ons are great looking, but don't necessarily increase the re-sale value. The rubber-mounted engine on the newer Sporties make them more attaractive.

Just my opinion.

nice to know.....it's my bike i'm trying to sell....just curious what everyone thinks about the price....NADA value is 8,300 but i need to move it asap cause i'm buying a V-rod....i thought 7,500 is a fair price.....

 

Good Luck.

 

are you including the stock take offs too when you are selling the bike?

 

my uncle just bought an 02 1200c from the local harley dealer that was traded in,it had 3400 miles and is clean as a whistle..had drag pipes and rejet all else was stock and he paid 5700.00 bucks for it..and that was from the dealer..your bike is very nice looking and has alot of add-ons but it doesnt necessarily bring the value up..i think my uncle got a very good deal for his..imo!

 

yes, all the stock stuff that was on the bike comes with also.....5,700 bucks is a good deal.....good for him....of course my bike has a lot more than just pipes and rejeted.....i've got thousands in it not hundreds and i don't expect to get that back......NADA is 8,300 for my bike and i'm not even asking for that....7,500 takes it....it's a good deal....local harley dealers where i know people that work there say they would sell the bike on their floor for 8,500 and it would sell pretty quick........

 

What kind of trade in will the dealer offer you for it towards the v-rod
