Sounds a little pricey, but if you're comfortable with the seller that could be a big plus. My bike specs out about like the one you described but it's an 01 and had 9400 miles. Billet controls, tach, EFI, security system, braided lines, chrome lower forks yadda yadda and picked it up for $19k.

If that bike is what you want, start with KBB stock retail and negotiate up to your comfort level. Just set yourself a firm limit and be prepared to walk away.

BTW: all the zero mile 02 models in ATL dealerships are stickered at $21.5k base plus or minus depending on extras.

I see you've been pricing them also. Which locations have any 2002's left? H-D of Clayton County is closest to me and they only have 2003's on floor and some used bikes. They wanted $21.5k on a stock 2003 RK Classic.

Actually, a 3 day rental in SoCal pushed me off the fence and I started shopping as soon as I got back

I shopped Killer Creek, Earl Smalls, and Atlanta HD (actually Lithia Springs). KC was $500-1000 higher than the others but that didn't really surprise me. In Alpharetta they got guys lining up to spend money there. Atlanta HD didn't have much for used cycles. I bought from Earl Smalls because they happened to have exactly what I wanted and an ok price tag.

I shopped a few private sellers, but they were more proud of their stuff than the dealers.

I figure with the 03's now hitting the floor, you'll see more used bikes at all the dealers. Personally, I wanted one NOW (bought on 7/3) and didn't want to wait
