Default Gettin' an 03 Electra Glide Classic

I'm Gettin' an 03 Electra Glide Classic and am looking for some feedback.

It is real clean with 40K miles and the guy wants $10K. He is a "friend". Seems like a VERY good deal. I rode it today and it runs great.

What do you think? Is it really a deal?

10K is at the very low end of the retail value for this bike, so I doubt you would find one any cheaper. I've seen '03s go for as much as $13,500, and rarely less than $10,000-10,500.
I absolutely LOVE my Electra Glide. The EG is a great bike, with plenty of room, a comfortable ride, plenty or power, and surprisingly good handling for a bike of its size. I know folks with well over 125,000 miles on that twin cam motor also, so it should last you a good long time.

Local Dealer has a 2002 with 37k miles on it. He's asking $12,500. I don't know much about Harley's, but that is the model I would want, and it sounds like you're getting a good deal.

You’ll like the big Glide, although if you haven’t yet climbed aboard don’t be surprised with the ergonomics… they’re peculiar to Glides… and $10K is great… I’ve got an Evo engined Ultra – tad down on power compared to the twinkies that occasionally blow by me, but awfully trustworthy and I use the ol’gal like it was a truck…

It does sound a bit cheap, and if there were any add ons (there almost always are) it makes it sound even cheaper.

But the way things are going, there will be a few more "toys" for sale.
