How Much Should a Used Harley Cost?
-
Consider Expense and History
-
Harley-Davidson tires can come in different designs. A Harley-Davidson motorcycle, even a used one, can be pricey. For example, according to VTwinTrader.com, a 1992 FLSTF "fatboy" can cost upwards of $12,000 for its "Dynatek ingnition system, Arlen Ness turn signals and chrome swing arm." Because of the cost involved, it is good to know the history of any used Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Mileage and Condition Are Also Important
-
When buying used, check for a bike that is rusted or worn. The overall mileage and condition of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle are critical factors in deciding how much you should pay. "Mileage" according to Munising.com, "is the main basis of price" for a used Harley-Davidson motorcycle. In addition, when it comes to bike condition, be sure to "check the exterior or the motorcycle as well as its performance."
Bottom Line
-
Even a used Harley can be expensive. According to VTwinTrader.com, you can expect to pay between $12,000 and $18,000 for a quality used Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Be sure to research the vehicle history before committing to buying. In addition, always examine the mileage and overall condition. A valuable way to purchase a Harley is through a certified auction and/or someone you trust.
