Who cares if you spent a few bucks too much or stole it....as long as your happy. Heck....you got to start spending your money sometime. Remember the object of the game is to die with no money in the bank, and while your heavily in dept!

If you like it and you are happy, then it is a good deal

I sold my 2005 Road King with 10K miles last november for $13000 and I think I gave it away no warranty but the bike was showroom condition all receipts dealer service I would look around! Right now the dealer told me that the factory is cutting back on production of the 09's and most dealers have 08's left over. You could get a newer dresser for maybe $15,000? Now that I think about it does this bike have fuel Injection? If not and it has a carb it's not worth it!!! You can do better unless you really know the bike and owner !! My 02 cents, Bill
A new dresser for $15.000? Never happen in in my neck of the woods.

I does not matter what you paid for it.... It'll be worth less tomorrow! Cycles are for riding not investing.

that would be before you tack on the wheels, handlebars, tt&l, etc. no way you're gonna get out the door under 21k around here.

Does it matter what any one thinks if you are happy & the seller is happy it is a good deal!! There is always somebody going to tell you they got a better deal

I think I over paid a little but I really like the bike, and he started off asking $13,900. I got him down $700, and I don't think he would have came much more if any becaues of the money he had into it. Oh well either way I look at it, it is still a decent amount cheaper then a Street Glide which is what I was going to get. It also rides alot smoother. I am planning on picking it up on Saturday. Tonight he called and said he remembered he has the ext warrenty with 1yr and 5 months left. He said he can cancel it and get $500 back, or will tranfer it for an additional $400. I think I am going to pass on that though.
