Greetings,:wavey:
First let me introduce myself. I am a 45 year old male who resides in Canada, 5'11", 190lbs and never rode who wants to purchase a HD. My local dealer has suggested that I look at the HD 1200 Sportsters for my first bike, mainly because they have a little extra power when needed to get out of trouble, and the forward controls. What are your thoughts on learning to ride on a 1200 Sportster?
My next question is about your thoughts on what is a fair price for a 2004 XL1200X. This bike has about 2000KM (1200 miles) has been outfitted with Stage One Screamin Eagle pipes, forward controls, rejetted carb and K & N filter. This bike is like new having been stored in a garage, has a slight scratch on tank and a rub mark on the transfer case. The dealer wants $10000 canadian plus applicable taxes. Can anyone enlighten me on what I should be offering, or if I should even be looking at this bike.
Please any and all info would be appreciated, but please hurry because the dealer says he has someone else looking at this bike, but that could be a ploy to get me to put my money down.
Thanks for your time,
