That is great another rider that wears leather. But take his price and HD cool leathers and 10 to 1 HD is way overpriced; More like absurdly overpriced. I sit by a moron that had all the HD crap and sold everything HD since he was fed up with crappy nickel and dime attitude by HD. Which I must agree here.
I do not wear tennis shoes but do wear jeans and t-shirts. Yes, I have gone down and I still live to talk about it. Nylon jacket??? What are you smoking???? Hate to tell you but all the leather in the world will not save you here in many cases. First thing you need is a real helmet not the paste bowl that 99.9% of them wear. Once you get them, PM me.
My bike is only 12 years old and parts (OEM) are cheaper now then ever unless you pay retail. You can buy OEM parts anywhere and online is about 30 to 50% of any dealers price. If you have issues getting them, you need to do a better job looking here. They are a hair above find adults sites. What I am saying is that you can find them <60 seconds.
Again, please bring up something more then a silly selling value here. Again, you can say this and that about your bike is worth XXXX dollars. Again, you pay 2 to 3 more, so I hope so; unless you bought the cheaper HD’s. In 12 years I have not put in $1,000 worth of total repairs or anything. I could CARLESS what it is worth since I am not selling it nor want to. I had a guy offer me over $5K this year and said no. That is only 37% off from what I paid 12 years ago. I know that my model is very hard to come by in my condition but I could again careless. Again, all these #’s mean zero. I bought the bike to ride, not fix, upgrade, chrome this and that……
I just asked a guy I work with about your '93 FXRS with about 100,000 miles. He said new they where like $18,000. You could get about 9 to 11K max on selling. Right now would be on the low side. Take the 18K and the 10K (avg) and see how much your investment is.
Anyone that buys “rolling stock” to gain money (investment) is well, a poor investor. You are better in energy or blue chips.
Again, a starter bike can be what you want. I started with a $4.5K and kept going up in size ; finished up with this one & want a bigger one. Again, you are stuck on the “extreme depreciation” values. Boy, you HD guys love that one since the imports are all over you people…Plus who “drops” a bike, if you do, go back to school. I have gone down, not dropped a bike.
Next, so they are assembled in the USA..and that means??? A monkey can assembly anything. Then you pull off stuff to put US components on? Why, you are going down in quality here.
Oh to close, since you stated “You go pop a wheelie at 120mph”. I do not do that since that is a great way to blow fork seals and loose control. And then again, I am only in 3 gear why “pop a wheelie” when I still have 2 more gear to go; all while still getting 40+ mpg.
