General info if you go for an extended warranty. That 4-6 year warranty starts 'right now', so it's worthless during the factory warranty. You can still get it, but right before the original runs out. By then, you should know if you need it. Of course, the finance person pushes to sign it NOW, because they know that you may realize that you don't need it.

Never even consider the "4 Block" paperwork!

The Indian FTR is a great sport bike. It's close to the HD's Sportster S in spec, but looks very different. Base model starts around $13,499 and go as high as $18,999 with various models in between. The rest of their lineup is all cruisers, baggers and touring models, not unlike HD. It should be fairly easy to find used FTR's out there.

I got to ride one demo day. It's a phenomenal ride.

Riverside Harley (CA) was pressing me hard to sign for a $45k contract + $5k down + my 2020 sportster for 23 fast Johnnie. When I refused and explained why(cause it’s a ripoff) their sales manager came out of nowhere very aggressive, rude, and just an asshole, telling me I can refinance blah blah blah. I bought a Suzuki gsx8r last Saturday, straight up sale $200 under msrp.

You definitely made a good choice. Those GSX8R's are great bikes.

@@m0t0rnews26 thanks. idk I could have so much fun on a motorcycle, I didn’t feel like this on my sportster. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Long story short…. Several times. It was really short story long! Lol

My first bike was a 2003 883 Sportster 100th Anniversary Edition. Bought it new when I was 20, wish I’d kept it. Not particularly quick by any means nor the greatest handler, but she was gorgeous (at least I thought so) and a lot of fun to run around some two-lane backroads on.

I loved the old nighthawk had an 86 . The forward controls take some getting used to. My first Harley was an 2010 96 cid Fatbob mid controls with hioghway pegs. I had to learn o shift with heal and break with heal while feet von pegs . I hated them mids were just postioned wrong. The next FatBob i bought was a 2014 witha 103cid with forward controls loved them. It just takes gettig used to your legs being so far in front of you. The FatBobs handle like a dream even though it is heavy. when they switched to the mono shock it changed to much for me it truly was the end of the dyna

I just saw a good XR online for 6900.00

Yeah, the used prices have fallen lately.

Gotta add tax and prep stuff that'll be 3k alone

Exactly. No way was I dropping that money after the greedy bait-and-switch.

That's a four square. Just a negotiating tool to help put a deal together. Used them for years. Funny you immediately have to pay $1420 in additional profit for prep and freight. Sounds like to me you had a dip sh#t salesperson.

I went to a dealership last week to look at a 2017 883. A bike that should book for about 6500$ retail , after all the other added BS they are trying to sell me that bike for twelve grand with their financing. Uh nope. So i told them id just save up a couple more grand and shoot them a cash offer in a few weeks if they still had the bike, boy they didnt like that AT all. Im like well i about have enough saved up to just pay cash so, why even mess with all that other financing bs, along with a 995$ assembly fee they are trying to tack on to a used bike lol.

Yeah, great idea to pay cash if you can. Assembly fee for a used bike is straight robbery. I hope you find the bike you want!

I like the early XR's flat track body work (tank /tail & solo seat, the low sculpted tank does not have that top heavy looking sportster wannabe chopper look to it as opposed to the 1970's era flat track genetics of XR tank and tail ) So that early cosmetic design adapted to the modern chassis, suspension and evo or later engine design which are light years better than any 70's built shovel based HD AMF junk would be the sportster i would own. Harley seems to be under some delusion that their ride for the brand people will love or buy whatever they put out just because its a Harley. i liked the sportster 48 look a few years ago, with larger tires, maybe a springer forks, but that stoopid buckaroo sportster tank ruins the appeal of the design. I am old now, being raised on knuckleheads and Panheads and flatheads back in the day. even the 1957 sportster was far better looking standard bike that what it was to become, back when they were both affordable workable and good looking 1936-1965. All the AMF year harleys are what choppers should have been made from, i used to cringe when i saw a knucklehead or pan head chopped and butchered, a 1965-1983 bowling ball, not so much.

Fascinating. I would love to see a modern XR-themed bike, kind of like the Ftr.

Bro I picked up a sportster 1200 for 3500 two years ago with only 2k miles…. 10k for a 2009 is a ripoff

In 2022, when I was looking for one, $9k was fair market for these in my area. And, I really wanted on, at the time. But, considering that a new Mt-09 costs that much, I agree.

A woman had kounts kustoms on history channel had them fix one of these they made changes to help her ride it easier she was some kind of racer as well.

I have a 2021 sportster s with just under 10000 miles. Great bike and solid as far as mechanicals. I am about to trade in. Im getting $8500 for the trade in value. If your interested and fairly local to New England I would be open to talk. Also has mid controls on it.

10k for an xr is high
