Good luck with your sale but it probably is not the best place to try and sell it.Not a lot of Hardly love here
 
Oh I figured that. The more exposure it gets from bike lovers, the more likely it is to sell though, ya know? Some guy here might know a guy that knows a guy looking for this bike somewhere. I'm here and I'm a harley fan so it's possible.
 
Good luck with your sale. Action photo looks good; nice to see a bike being used for travel, instead of just cruising.
 
Thanks. Those shots were from a 3,500 mile ride from Iowa->Minnesota->Sturgis->Yellowstone->Colorado->Moab->back to Iowa last August. All done in 9 days.
 
Friend of mine has the same bike. He bought it second hand, with very low miles.

I think he bought it in 2004, and it was a hard to find model. He paid well over 20k for it.

Remember when Harley dealers had waiting lists for their bikes? I think it ws 2001-2003.
 
These bikes are pretty hard to find in good condition and low miles. The 100th anniversary package adds collect-ability and nostalgia for a Harley enthusiast.

There are actually still waiting lines on certain bikes right now at Harley. I was in a dealer on Saturday that sold 6 bikes that day alone, some of which weren't even in stock yet. Harley only lets the dealers order a certain number of each bike a year, so you have to get on the list if it's a hot seller.

It doesn't hurt anything to post it here, as long as you realize the GSR forum contains the internet's biggest collection of tightwads. KLR650 owners have a cheapskate reputation, but they are outrageously profligate spenders compared to this bunch. We've seen goobers in "parts wanted" begging for used chains and tires.

But like you say, one of these dumpster diving yahoos might know a guy who knows a guy who's in the market. Best luck with the sale -- if you like the Harley style, and lots of people do, that bike is pretty much a premier example.

No, I'd need to find some three foot long tassels, a bunch of bells and things, install a ton of chrome, add some big speakers to play the soundtrack from "Potato Gun Pirates", build big vibrators into the seat, get rid of the brakes, add some rails or something on the side so you can't lean into curves, and take away about fifty horsepower.

Easier just to keep it.

So what were you flogging ? Can't recall seeing anything, but don't visit the for sale section that often.
 
Hmmmmmmm. So I can buy this particular Harley, OR, I can buy a 79 Skunk, an 81 GS1100E, an 82 GS1100E, an 83 GS1100E, an 85 GS1150E, a handful of GS850's and still have money left over for a nice cruise to Cozumel? Not a tough decision for me. Oh, and good luck with your sale! :D
 
Thanks for the bumps boys. I don't take offense. I actually haven't even put it on a harley specific forum yet. I'm a member on the heritage springer forum and haven't put it on there because they all want it for next to nothing. I know it'll sell though.

Yeah, as you can tell that NEVER happens here. :p

It's good you have a sense of humor with our bunch. A few people do take offense on occasion.

Just an observation that may be benificial when do formally list it:

I would suggest the listing pictures be nice and crisp in a display type setting.

Showing the bike loaded up with luggage on dirt and gravel surfaces may turn a potential buyer away.
