That's not bad for $6,299.
But I bet if you added the word "Harley", it would be $26,299.

Looks good!

Maybe just the way the pic looks, but to me it looks short. Looks good. I would definently change those mirrors out. I hate the round mirrors.

Beautiful. I've owned a couple of Nighthawks, but nothing as pretty as that. I'll get another bike one of these days (provided I can convince the wife - I'll just get a big life insurance policy ). My eyes are on HD this time, though. But $6299 would be a heck of a lot easier to swallow than $25K+.

What he means is that you can get a H-D 883 Sportster for that price.

883 is small

You can do math.....::golf clap::you are right about that, but personally,that 750 looks good, but i would get the 1100 at minimum, esp on a cruiser, but i am 6'4'' 220,so i would need something of this size.

**883 is small when talking HD...BTW good choice for a first bike Bill

I'm 6' 4" and WAS around 220-230 when I had my 650 Nighthawk (now I'm around 290). It had plenty of power. I also had an Suzuki GS-1100GK that was almost overkill on the power. Guess it depends on what you want. I'm a cruiser when on 2 wheels. I save the speed and power for the 4 wheeled toys. I'll live longer that way.
