Recently, I have been thinking about getting a motorcycle. After checking some information online, I decided to go for a used Harley Davidson 750.
First of all, I set a budget. This is important because you don’t want to overspend, right? I figured out how much I could comfortably spend without messing up my finances. You gotta be smart about these things.
Next, I started looking around. I checked out some local dealerships. It was a good way to see the bikes in person and get a feel for them. I also browsed some online marketplaces. There are tons of listings there, but you gotta be careful and watch out for scams.
Then I started to do some research about the model. I found that some people thought that the early Twin Cam 88 models from 1999 to 2002 and 2006 had some problems. But I still decided to go for a used Harley 750 because of its low seat height and price.
I talked to a few sellers and asked a lot of questions. I mean, you gotta know what you’re getting into. I asked about the bike’s history, any accidents, maintenance records, all that stuff. I even asked to see the service records. Some sellers were cool and gave me all the info, while others seemed a bit shady. You just have to get rid of those.
After a lot of looking and talking, I finally found a bike that seemed like a good fit. I went to see it in person, gave it a thorough inspection, and even took it for a test ride. It felt good, sounded good, and looked pretty clean for a used bike.
I negotiated the price with the seller, and we finally came to an agreement. It wasn’t easy, but I think I got a fair deal. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but that’s not what I was looking for.
Finally, I completed all the paperwork, paid the seller, and rode the bike home. It was a bit of a process, but I’m happy with my purchase. And I do like the timeless look and dependable performance of my Road King.
So yeah, that’s my story of buying a used Harley Davidson 750. It took some time and effort, but it was worth it. Hope this helps anyone who’s thinking about doing the same.
