This looks good to me. The Vision I cant really defend the looks of.

I see a Vegas, or Kingpin in my future.

The bottom car is not much to look at either. I'm glad they put flames on it to take away from the ugly front lower bumper. Then again, it's hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. They tried their best... The front end reminds me of this: (that's what I imagined when I saw it.)


And here's another example of European beauty...



Both cars are of the same era as the examples shown.

The Jags ONLY decent car is the XKE and Rolls Royce , Bentley's and the like never did anything for me... How do you feel about this one

Oh My

All this Harley talk had me stopping at the Dealership today.......Found this.

07 Dyna Low Rider 2K miles $11K??? With Screaming Eagle Kit, Custom HD Seat V&H. Forward Controls....I don't know what the extras cost but the same dealer has an 06 Stock with 23K miles for $1000 More?

2006 Harley-Davidson® FXDLI - Dyna Glide Low Rider® Stock: 328519 | Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson®

A bike that's 5yrs old with only 2k mi. Garage Queen!

And the '06 isn't completely stock,

a custom seat, Screamin' Eagle exhaust, passenger backrest with luggage rack

[jimnfor]

Probably $3k for the extras you listed.

Seems to me the 07 with 2K should be LESS than the 06 with 23K...I have not been in the HD market since the roaring 90's but the 07 seems like a steal at $11K ......or not. I don't think its good for any bike to avg 50 miles a month!! I also think the "Screaming Eagle Kit" is likely just the air cleaner. The bike listed for $16400 completely stock.. I would say the original owner had nearly $19K in the bike. The dealership likely gave the owner an ACV of $8000 on the trade looking for $3000 Profit.

NADA has the avg retail used price at. $9995 The original owner took a $10,000 bath....ouch, I would have to get $1000 for my bike to take that kind of bath. That's probably what HD would offer ACV LOL

I agree, seems like a great deal. Don't know why it would be less though. A year newer and a tenth of the miles.. I would think it would be more..

I've ridden a Sportster 1200, a 2010 crossbones, a 2008 softrail, owned a '97 shadow 1100, wife's has a '87 1100 shadow, and I currently own a 2003 VTX1800C.

Viva la Honda!

The bodystyle is beautiful, the hideaway headlights are ugly. The grille is typical, looks good, but the headlight covers look like clothes dryer vent tubing. I prefer to see the headlights. I think if it had twin exposed vertical headlights, it would look nice.

I like classic American cars, but the stereotypical ones I'm bored of. I used to help a buddy restore cars and worked on helping other friends with styling of their old trucks. I like cars that are a bit different. I prefer early firebirds to early camaros. I think the flaming chickens look better. More aggressive styles.

Mustangs are boring... They all look the same. Even the shelby's.
Corvettes are ugly. The originals look like chick cars. Kinda like a miata
GTO's, Chevelles ... meh
Charger's, bumble Bees and 'Cudas are cool.
55-57's BORING! It's been overdone.
Old hotrods and deuce coupes are stale.
Lincoln Continentals nice but seeing too many.
Panel trucks yawn.

I do like station wagons, most but not all.
Dodge Viper, new magnum and challenger are nice, everything else is a " me too!" car.

I like curves on a car, just like on a woman. I think that's why I like Porsches. I especially like the 930s, 928s4, panamera, 944s2, 914 tho not curvy is nice.
Karman Ghia and notchback too. Shelby Cobras are nice tho are they truly American?

I guess my taste is not really burgers and fries, but house special with onion rings.

For motorcycles, i would take Ace'd it's bike over 99.5% of Harleys. It is just the look I like. My bike is slowly getting to where I can say "there! I'm done!"

BigB has an awesome bike too. I know what I like and ABSOLUTELY know what I don't. It took me looking at over 1500 watches until I found one I liked. It was a Stainless Steel Rolex Air King with a blue face dial with no calendar. I had to sell it recently due to family needs.

mmm, yeah whatever.. that was a taste test.. you failed.

Oh and Acedits bike is nice, it should be it is symbolic of generations of choppers and bobbers
