Status: offline 		heres my opinion...  im repossession agent for the stae of LA...  remember this:  the economy is falln.  since u r just stating buy a used 1...  when buying a used bike go to kelly blue book and see what the trade n value is...  if that person wants a good bit less than trade value that would be something to look at...  i repo harley all the time...  very very nice bikes. u can make that fat boy look way different... the radar is a very nice bike...  the shadow is something u should run a kelly blue book on... jmop     let me tell yall about all finance co..     once the lender buys u at a certain percent, the dealer tax on a couple more just so they can make that much more on u...  so if ur intrest is 8, ur lender prolly bought u from around 5...  this a fact...   u should really look n the paper to look at alot of bikes... also dont buy a bike that dont fit u ...  i repo more bikes that ppl thought they would eventually fit the bike and never due...  if it dont fell right it never will... just remember that ur a first timer and dont exceed ur riding ability..  last thing,  a harley is more expensive to maintain than any other bike, and thats b/c its american made...  an oil change is normally aroud 50 bucks..

I'm partial to Harleys but I've had a couple of Yamaha Roadstars too....great bikes and easy to work on but way too much power for a new rider.
Start out with a little smaller, used bike that way if you want to upgrade or get rid of it, you've not taken the depreciation hit from as new one.

if that person wants a good bit less than trade value that would be something to look at...

the shadow is something u should run a kelly blue book on... jmop

If someone was asking a good bit less, I'd sure look at it but would be leary as well.  Just something to keep your eye out for.

Here is the Kelly Blue Book Suggested Retail Value on the 2002 Shadow 750 A.C.E.


2002 Honda VT750CD Shadow 750 ACE Deluxe Value

 Email


a{color:#2A4F97;}



September 28, 2008 2-Cylinder
4-Stroke
750cc
Suggested Retail Value $3920 The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is representative of dealers' asking prices and is the starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer. This Suggested Retail Value assumes that the unit has been fully reconditioned and is in excellent condition. Mileage/condition and additional equipment may have a substantial impact on the value shown above. This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less depending on the unit's actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions. Accordin to Kelly Blue Book

31500 is the expected milage on an 02' 750 cc engine.



Accessory add on's and values.

35.oo additional for a back rest (sissy bar)
35.00 additional for the engine guard
65.00 additional for the exhaust
100.00 additional for two tone paint
35.00 additional for the windshield

3920+35+35+65+100+35= 4190

Status: offline 		I can see those points as well, wasn't sure though what you was gettin at by sayin the shadow would validate a KBB check.  If I wasn't sure exacty what ya was gettin at, possibly it would be confusing for someone else as well.  So was just clerifying, not tryin to start an arguement.  I've been ridin this one for bout 2 years, and for what I got it for it's great.  Was my 2nd bike.  Would keep it if it wasn't for the milage I/we are needing to cover now.

Status: online 		fatboys are a great choice, picked my 2005 fatboy up way under bluebook value with only 3000 miles on it.  here are some before and after pictures of what i did with it, also remember a brand new bike looses a ton of value right out the door,  "let someone else take that hit, buy used"  and a brand new bike will not have as much chrome and stuff availible so you will always be waiting for something new to come out, unlike an older bike.  hope this helps

Status: offline 		Personally I ain't fond of the "Chopper look" to the raider, however if it rides anything like that Stratoliner does, it'll be a great bike.  I test rode one of them the week they came out.  Great bike.  Engine throttle response, transmission, and over all ride was just awesome.  If the raider rides the same, you'll love the bike.

Status: offline 		**** im in the same boat as you....Im looking into getting a motorcycle by the end of the year. My father has owned motorcycles his whole life and now he has the 2008 Goldwing. Ive always been around the motorcycle scene but never really got the interest until recently. All he talks about his is bike and how much he loves them. So im gonna surprise him one of these days and show up at his house on a new bike. Im like you i dont want anything fancy as a harley...and i feel that anything over 1000cc is too much for a beginner. Ive got my eyes on a Kawasaki 900 custom and the yamaha Vstar 950...Im 26 years old and my tatse on style is a bike with a low seat, big fancy wheel in the front and a nice wide tire in the rear...nothing too chopperish if thats a word but something a little custom. The suzuki boulevards and intruders seems to be geared towards the crowd 45 years and older or at least thats the age range i see...Lastly my price range is under 8000$ so that if io do lose interest over the years i dont have a ton of loss when trying to sell...There are used harleys all around this area decked out for 20,000 plus dollars...also this is the best time of year to purchase with the colder months comming on...Now the dealerships are turning focus torwards atvs since its deer season and the bikes are usually at better prices...


Here is the yamaha Vstar 950



Here is the kawasaki 900 custom

A 600 wasn't enough bike for you! LOL You need to slow your roll man before something bad happens! LOL



Anyway get a used bike bro. That 1900 is gonna be big heavy and very touchy on the trottle. For a first bike I would say 1300ccs would be my cap. All the jap bikes are pretty good. The VTX, Vstar, Vulcan, Boulavard, they are all outstanding bikes.
