Ok here is an update on my buying search.
You guys were great with the help about what to do and most of you were thinking in the same path as me…Great Minds Think The Same!!
I went and looked at the two bikes 06/07 and they both had been down on the left side, minor damage but down just the same. These guys were asking $7000.00 for each one and didn’t want to deal at all…so I walked out with $7000.00 in my pocket …there loss.
I found an e-mail back from a Buell dealer that was working on getting a price down where I was looking. They came back with an 06 full bag set 8k miles clean never down bike for $7400.00 out the door.
Seems like the best deal so far and I am going to go up and test ride the bike next week …hopefully bring it home.

Anyone want to comment on the price…good / Bad ????

In case if you haven't looked yet, there is a nice 06 for sale by one of the board members here, it is in good shape and well taken care of:

$7400 for the one you looked at doesn't sound bad, especially with the bags on it already.

Waterman,
That is one of the two I went to look at on Monday.It has some damage to the left side and these guys dont want to deal at all.They also have a black 06 there to.
Both bikes came from a local Harley dealer where I was think about buying one but they ended up at this wholesalers shop for $1000.00 more....And no bags...gotta have bags

Don't let the bags make or break a sale. If you can swing a deal with the bags, then great, if not you can get your choice in bags after. Brand new take offs show up on the classifieds all the time here. : )
