My son got a good deal on a VRod from Craigslist in Fargo area. The guy owned 3 motorcycles.
Does he like it?
He absolutely loves it. It only had 3 ,000 miles on it. If he ever buys a house and needs money for a down payment I promised I will buy it. I just bought a 2018 Heritage Softtail and couldn't be happier. I traded in a 2015 Gold Wing. It was like riding a barge.
Not really sure why a lot of Harley guys don't ride much. My 10 year old Lowrider had 11000 miles on it, so the previous owner did about 1000 miles a year. Incredible. The weather has been pretty crummy up here, I've had the bike for 3 months, and have 1000 on it. You would have to TRY to NOT ride to only do 1000 a year. The bike does look almost brand new though. The woman is 65, never rode before, and really likes it. She DID put a red mohawk on her helmet. I feel overdressed....the new electric stuff is interesting. Honda even has a prototype that won't fall down. It balances itself. Apparently, no skills and a lot of money, is how they perceive the potential buyer.
