North Yorkshire I believe..
Gents having had an itch to get a Harley for more years than I would like to remember, I have seen this one on ebay and going to have a look tomorrow.

I know it’s not easy from a photo but could you give me what your initial thoughts are?? Good / Bad what should I be looking out for. I am thinking that it’s a little over priced I know anything is only worth what someone will pay. Others on the net of similar age and with fewer miles are about £1500 less. He is asking £9495.00

Because it’s a 100th anniversary model would this push up the price? I understand it even lives in doors.

Appreciate your comments….and even a little piss taking if you feel it’s needed…:thumb2

Don't pay any more for 100th than any other model, off the bat I'd say it was overpriced, but it is Very clean...It's also an import.... Make sure all the paperwork is complete.

Have a good look at the rear wheel, they rust through from the inside... Check the belt for holes... Look at the edge for cracks along the bottom of the "valleys".. Cam tensioners need checking, see if they have been done...check the exhaust headers for cracks at the joints... Apart from that... Just the normal checks I'd say..
 
Scrub the exhaust checks... It has V&H longshots...
 
I'm no Harley expert buy it looks a very nice example and first impressions suggest it looks in great condition and good value for that money.
If it runs well and you have checked it over go scratch the itch.
Ask him to throw in some leather riding chaps and you'll be laughing :cool::rolleyes:
 
Hmmm...I reckon it's overpriced.....:P

:D Yeah, but only by 3K!:eek:
Mine has fatboy solid wheels and a far better exhaust option that must have cost a pretty penny......This one here is a fucking rip off.....But for some reason they think they cost the earth:nenau
I would go and have a look and offer 6K......I only paid that plus a ton or two for mine! And it is a lot newer!
 
Been having a look.. £10k gets you a 2010/11 MY.... £8k tops... But would prefer a 7 in there somewhere....

Don't pay extra for another buyers tat...( Sorry desirable bolton accessories) although to be fair you can flog em easy enough on eBay.
 
Thanks a lot gents. Will have a look at it tomorrow and see where we go from there.:clap:thumb2

You're going to buy it, aren't you? Despite us all telling you it's overpriced? You are, aren't you, Sir?

One thing is guaranteed, that if I do buy (not at that price that's for sure), I'll be back for the piss taking..:augie
I've been looking out for one for the over 6 months and the ones I've seen haven't been great and not cheap...

There seem to be quite a few around but either really bad condition or completely over priced...

Watch this space....:clap
 
Yorkshire.....You deserve it at full price to be honest, I think it would suit you down to the ground at that price.
It will go lovely with your new white Porsche 4 wheel drive thingy that you have......You do have one of those don`t you? Most of the shallow minded white rose wankers do seem to have one.:beerjug:

att has gay diamante studs on his handbags and would probably buy them off you as a spare set to dance around at his local Young Farmers Disco on YMCA night. :ymca

jackass dave would buy the mini apes off you for his Road King.

So then all you would need to do is fit normal bars and black only hardbags and your good to go. :thumb2
