You might also keep in mind that prices tend to be higher in the spring. I have an 06 Sportster that I put on Craigslist for $5000, and not one hit.

Default Craigs list

I found this on CL. '05 XL1200C 270miles. SE2 slip ons and air filter, custom paint. and had an EZ clutch installed. $6K. Gal bought it and got sick and didn't ride it. Neighbor would ride it around the block a few times every other month for her. If you don't get in a hurry and have cash in hand (good deals go quick) you'll score. Good luck

I bought a 2007 Sportster XL1200C with 4k miles on it for $6000 at the beginning of this month.

Just keep your eyes open.

Default The cost of sportys

A sporty cost not that bad. Got to have fuel injection ? Not !! I have a 1999 883 custom plenty of power and the good old way of delivering fuel.Rubber mounts ? I don't get it , you're wanting a harley buy a harley the fuel injection doesn't sound like a old school bike , they idle faster taking the whole persona away from the bike.

Custom exaust will always show a o2 sensor.The looks of the new ones aren't as good as the older ones. Mine has about 30.000 miles on it with no trouble , you can pimp out the older bikes and look way cooler no ofence to newer modle owners.

Cost you can find a nice bike with low miles for around 4500 , if you choose to do engine work, done right , it's like a speeding bullet that you can't catch.I haven't worked mine up yet but my friend has a sporty that would max out the speedo at 130 he really doesn't know how fast it is.
Just a thought

I'be been looking at a 07 Sporty XL1200C with 3,500 miles.....the dealer is asking $8400. It's got a back rest and V&H pipes. To me, $6500-7000 would be the tops. I'm going to the showroom in a few weeks to maybe see the lowest they'll go.

I "knew" my bike was a Street Bob but with the economy, our house payments and kid....we need all the cash possible. A $6500 bike would make a tiny dent in the monthly budget. A $14,000 bike would be a be double. Not smart right now.....but in a year, maybe it's possible.

AND it's got my top color choice! But don't tell the dealer.
