Could be, but there weren't any for sale in my area at the time I needed one.
I didn't just run out and look to buy a Harley. I ran out to buy a motorcycle.

I happened to find a Harley that was about $1,500 less than what I found anywhere on the internet for the same bike, so I bought it.
I could have turned around and sold it the week after for a $1,000 profit.

I'm no Harley fanatic but again, it does what I need it to do.

You have to take into consideration that 9 out of 10 people would rather be seen on an 883 rather than an 450.

A fine bike, I had one in 1992. I wish they’d consider bringing them back...
