The older Superglides are nice but a local HD dealer is selling 2007 leftovers for around 13,000 dollars. With cheap interest offered by HD the new Superglide with a 96 cubic inch motor and a six speed tranny is a better buy than most used bikes with the 88 five speed. It's a tough market but I think it's going to get a lot tougher.

I kinda get the feeling that I'm being flamed here, with the comment about how a NEW bike is a better buy than a used one. Gee, thanks. Maybe I'll be on the lookout for one of your posts...

it is probably cheaper to buy new( as a few adds here in a car mag: on one page a 2004 toyota kincab for $20,000 then on the other page a brand new dodge for $22,000???go figure) but after you add in extras it may not be cheaper to buy new...the toyota could have add on's and be a top of the line modle while the dodge could have plastic floors and roll up windows manual? people will buy if they think it is fair for what they want...

B-Bluegill,

No flame intended. I've owned, ridden, raced and worked on many brands of motorcycles including Harley since childhood. I currently own three motorcycles including an XL1200 HD that's probably faster than it should be.

As much I love my 2002 XL, the new Sportsters with rubber motormounts, fuel injection, larger gas tanks, more efficient cooling fins and other improvements are better for most riders. Moneywise, comparing the old to the new, the new is looking like a pretty darned good deal.

That's okay with me though because I do my own work and I rather enjoy the rough ride. I'll keep that bike until the day I die.

I do come off rather flat at times but that's the way I am. If you still have the desire to flame any of my future posts I won't try to talk you out of it.

Later--------JCT

Yeah I know what you mean ibt. The old AMF Harleys are becoming collectors items. Heck I might even get one and I didn't and still don't like AMF!!!!!

Go figure. <!--graemlin::D--> <!--graemlin::D--> <!--graemlin::D-->

Now, Now Tom <!--graemlin::D-->

The Harleys do not leak like they did in the old days. I keep my XL1200 parked next to the Honda VTX1800 in the garage and there's never a puddle of oil to mark it's spot.

I remember those old AMF sportsters. In order to get them to run properly you had to tear the motor down and basically rebuild them with go fast parts to get any power. I don't know of anybody that stopped the oil leak. A good friend owned one and my XS650 Yamaha punched out to a 750 would run circles around that Sportster.

When Harley went to the EVO motor the oil leaks stopped and the performance increased. You still have to tinker a bit to get more power but it's not a major rebuild any more. HD did have an issue with their early twin cam bearings but they quickly got that problem resolved.

Would I fly a Harley Airplane-----Oh Yeah!!!! If I crashed at least I would go down lookin' good. <!--graemlin::)-->
