Kentucky Armory Club

I am considering picking up a 2007 Harley Davidson FLSTN softail deluxe. I have owned a lot of rice burners and crotch rockets, just never any cruisers. What should I be looking for that would be a red flag. Bike looks great. It's sitting at Louisville Harley Davidson. It only has 13,000 miles. Looks like new tires. I just don't want to get tricked by all the "purty chrome" and make a bad purchase lol. The asking price is $12,995. However, the salesman stated prices are not set in stone. Not sure what to offer for the bike. Is this a fair price? Like I said, I'm a Harley noob. Any advise would be appreciated. I'm posting a few pics.

Looks nice.

I say the same thing about hd as i do toyota...the resale is high so take advantage and buy new.

$12k for a bike with 13k miles...You can keep those HD's...haha

I'd rather not pay for the HD name, because that's the only reason the price is so high.

I've had Hondas, kawasakis and a Suzuki. Wanting to try out the Harley brand. The price doesn't scare me away, as long as it's quality. I love the sport bikes from the previously mentioned manufacturers, but not a fan of any of the cruisers they offer.

I can't say the word Harley and quality in the same sentence but that's just my experience with the multiple owners over the years that tell me their horror stories but I will say they are brainwashed loyal Harley lovers. They really like the service department I guess because that's where they usually are and the Louisville shop on Arthur at is a huge ripoff crook station I witnessed myself.

I don't know what the Harley's do that the others don't except for that sound but reliability, price, weight, and smoothness I say all of the previous brands mentioned take claim to.

Harley is a breed of its own. Have never owned one. I guess its no different than brand loyalty in any other hobby though. Some cost more than others. Im not a fan of the foreign cruisers. Ive ridden a few, didnt really care for them. I may buy this hd and not like it either. Live and learn. Im just not into the sport bikes anymore, not my thing.

Maybe its the sound or the look that draws me to it, not sure, but i want one lol.

Haters gonna hate, lol

Nice lookin bike but I know ZERO about them....

Paging Livewire!

Seriously tho....if I was buyin an HD...I would def have a chat with Livewire and get his $0.02

I don't know much about them either. I have always had crotch rockets. May look into a new harley, just for the warrantee and so I can put the first few miles on it. Won't be able to afford all the goodies this one comes with though. A lot to think about. Definitely getting one soon, just not sure new or used.

A '14 is $18,000
...'07 is $13,000
....'00......$7,500

Yeah, been doing a lot of research. Pretty sure I'm jus going to pick up a 2014 softail deluxe. This way I get the warrantee, get to break the motor in right and I know how it's been treated. Something I plan on keeping, might as well spend the extra dough for new.
