Default which one would you buy and why?
I found a 2010 flhx with abs,cruise,security,and 200 rear tire for 16500. It has 8K miles. Or should I just try to get a 2012 without abs,cruise and security. The two dealers I went to are only showing me 10-11K for my bike plus I have 7-8 K to spend.

What is your inclination? You never said..
2010 sounds to be in your $ ball-park.

Do the used bike and don't look back. Someone else has already taken the depreciation hit for you. Plus a bike with cruise and ABS to boot.

The used bike seems to be the deal to me. Not enough miles on it to be worried about, as long as it still looks good.

Another vote for the used bike, and then mod it up!

Why not buy the 2012 with the ABS,security & cruise?? Shop for a good deal, or wait till the winter & get a better deal!!!
