2007 gives you the 96" motor and the 6 speed transmission along with non intergrated handlebar risers (meaning you can change them without changing the top tree, that changed in 2008). The blacked out motor is more desireable by most then the silver motor that came in later years. If somehow they didn't dick around with the wiring when changing the bars, that would be good, otherwise, just make sure it was a quality job. The 2007 pricing was about $1000 more then 2008 if I remember correctly, but that wouldn't effect the resale value, and would only bring objections like "but I paid $14,XXX for it". 2500 miles is really good. Debadged, I am not a fan of, but they could be easily replaced. Black Denim is a very tough finish, doesn't scratch easy.

Good luck with your offer.

[Garandman]

Haven't made an offer because I have no clue if that's at all reasonable.

[eboos]

NADA lists low retail as $8005 and average retail as $9570. KBB lists trade value as $7890 and retail as $10750. KBB has always been on the high side with there retail values, especially since you can get a new FXDB for $13000.

If the bike wasn't messed around with, and was completely stock (or had the mods that you planned on doing anyway) I would say that the $9000 is a good deal. If he is advertising $9000, try offering $8500.

[Garandman]

Well, change of plans. This bike showed up on another forum for a stupid good price, so I bought it.

2005 Harley Sportster 1200 Roadster. Came with two seats, alarm, cover, 1,165 miles. I've been half-heartedly looking for an XR1200, but haven't seen one for sale privately locally so I'll play around with this for a while.



Emailed Mr. Kates to see what he has available for suspension upgrades. The lowered shocks need to go ASAP, and I want to do something about the fork damping.

Way to go. With the R you get both tach and speedo, and normal footpeg position.

That's a girl's bike

Saw it.

The dealers are delusional, trying to sell them for $10K when they aren't reaching $7,500 Reserve prices on eBay.

I had a 2nd chance offer for a 2009 XR1200 last year for $7,500, but it was a four hour drive and just wasn;t worth it. I paid so little for this bike it doesn't matter.

Yes you did! That was a great deal.

I was always told the 1200's were the only "man's" Sportster.

The piglets are the 883's and 1000's.

I believe he was referring to the lowered suspension, not the engine.

[Garandman]

Yes you did! That was a great deal.

Objective met. I had one, same thing. When I started getting past the edges of the tread, I knew it was time to go back to a sportbike. You'll enjoy it.

[Garandman]

Picked it up yesterday. I've got some stuff on order to make it a real motorcycle!

Fork brace
Ricor IAS shocks
Ricor Intiminator
Metzeler Me880's.

This bike spent a couple of years in Hawaii and the rims show some corrosion (the engine and everything else looks fine). Any commercial products that help clean them up? Or do I just need elbow grease?

[Pigman]

Get some White Diamond polish works great.....and throw a GSXR 1000 front end on the HOg...

[Chippertheripper]

Powdercoat em and be done.
