progrmr Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Looking for a Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 of pretty much any flavor, want a 2004 or higher year (rubber mounted engine! ). I'd like to have one with less than 20K miles in good condition. I'm not looking for a fixer-upper. I will have to sit on it for feel - I'm only 5' 10" tall but coming in around 215lbs. I think it should be good though - I rented a 1200 sporty years ago in Hawaii and was about the same weight, it was great. I'm trying to get into a Harley w/o breaking the bank, not buy to flip - have up to $4500 cash ready to go. I know, not much for any Harley - it is what it is I'm looking so if you have one you want to part with let me know asap! email at drancour at gmail dot com thanks!

Pokey Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Should not have any issue finding a Harley with less than 20K miles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progrmr Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 LOL - awesome. I've found a couple Sporty's that fit my criteria but so far no call backs, made an offer via email (fair based on NADA) on another that's a bit more than I want to spend but looks really nice - no response yet. No rush but I definitely want to ride soon so I hope somethin' works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just out of curiosity, why are you limiting yourself to a Sportster VS other cruiser type bikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

progrmr Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Just out of curiosity, why are you limiting yourself to a Sportster VS other cruiser type bikes? Man, I've owned several bikes over the last several years. Everything from sportbikes ('98 ZX-7R, CBR 600f4i) to cruisers (Suzuki Intruder, Honda VTX 1300S), had 2 EX-500's, a '93 Nighthawk 750, an old Honda 250 (can't remember the model but it was fun)...None of those bikes have done much for me. They've all come and gone and i honestly don't miss them. In the past, I've always tried to get as much bike for the money I wanted to spend as possible rather than asking myself "what do I really want". I figure the time is right to try a Harley - but honestly the price has to be right for me. I'll only ride 5 months out of the year, and even then not very much. I'm not spending a ton of coin on that. Edited March 13, 2015 by progrmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progrmr Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I forgot about the Vulcan 750 and the Honda 250 was the VTR like this (and to think I was concerned about how I'd look on the Sporty when I rocked this 250 around town for a couple of months! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 If you want more bike for your money harley is a very odd choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progrmr Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Well, got my HD Sportster 1200 C this morning! Freakin' awesome as I expected. I'd close this thread but I can't figure out how! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
