Is this his first bike? I don't know that I'd recommend a big V-twin cruiser as a first bike, if only because the rake and such make it harder to learn basic skills. Can't really say bad things about the weight or the power, my CB750 was the same weight and more power (though not much).
The price isn't bad, especially for a Harley. Looks pretty rough, going to take some elbow grease to clean that up and get it looking good. Sportster is basically the only Harley I'd ever own (other than the XR "cafe" type bike, of course). If it's what he wants and he's willing to do the work, I wouldn't discourage him. At least check it out, hear it run, if possible ride it at least a little (You could/should if he doesn't have a license yet) to make sure it shifts smoothly and runs decently. If it doesn't knock an appropriate amount off the price. -Kurt On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 3:22 PM, NghthwkLvr (NL) <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey guys! > > Just wondering what y'all think...my son is considering purchasing this 20 > year old bike (same age as he) for $1800 + TTL...and then putting an > additional $1000 into it to make it 'his' bike. > > Pics are in the attached zip file...what he should consider...any advice > or suggestions would be appreciated...seller says it runs great, sounds > great, its just a little 'rough' looking...my son also says that he told > him it has an Evolution Engine...so... > > what say y'all? > > NghthwkLvr > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
