dont think my Rocket will be done for riding season he has not even finished my tank, he’s just fitting me in he’s 70 and I don’t want to be a pest, he’s amazing doesn’t take small jobs as a rule and when he’s finished I’m sure it will be worth the wait.
So I was looking at other bikes so I don’t miss riding season and came across this 2011 Rocket with 38km he was asking $7,900 now dropped down to $7,000 or best offer.
So made me think since I’m spending all this money to customize my 05 why not buy this 2011 and put all my custom parts on that and sell my 05 this way I’ll have a newer one that’s customized.
Then I started to think why not get newer one that has the Nev cams in or Carpenter kit have fun with it until my bike is all done and then put all parts on newer bike, is that crazy?
Is the Rocket really loosing that much value? If so what is a 05 worth ? I thought on adverage 05 is worth at least $7,000 ? Unless this 2011 is just cheap because he needs the money?
I know there’s nothing wrong with my bike I would hate to buy one newer and have a lemon
Am I crazy? For thinking this or just be patient and wait for my 05 knowing it’s all good and only has 35,000 miles on it.
And just perhaps buy a small cheap other fun bike until my bike is all done?
