 G'day All. Just Joined....
G'day guys,
literally just joined the group. Haven't got a Harley at the moment, but planning on buying shortly if things go the right way.
Looking at getting something older 80's/90's.....just waiting to see what pops up. Currently have a couple of other bikes - GSX1400 and an old 84 model XV1000 (YamaHarley). Love 'em both....great bikes in their own way.
Used to have an 09 Deluxe which I loved, but sold that to buy an old car. In any case.....thought I'd better start checking forums for advice and opinions, so here I am - pre-empting my purchase.
Regards,
Peter
Campbelltown, NSW

Welcome Peter,
Ride safe.
Thanks,
I have an old magazine from years back that had a "Readers Rides" section, and there was a bloke with a 1983 FXRS. I loved the look of it..….not too keen on a shovelhead though. Evo's seem to have a pretty good reputation, so might go that way. Mind you, I did see a 97 Dyna Convertible that had a really good stance on it, but a bit far away. And the colour is a little "bright".....Violet Pearl or something like that ?? Not sold on a specific bike yet, but have an idea what I'm after.
Peter

 Re: G'day All. Just Joined....
G'day & welcome. You picked a good time to get another Harley as it is a buyers market at the moment. If you aren't familiar with shovelheads, I would recommend you stay with an Evo. Super reliable and easy to play with, plus there are quite a few on the market at the moment at a good price.

 Re: G'day All. Just Joined....
Hi Changa. Welcome to the forum. I was looking around for something a bit older, like myself, but after some major issues with a 2001 FLHRCi, decided to buy from a dealer and ended up with a V-Rod. Great bike if you don't want to travel too far. When I was searching, late model Fatboys (2010-12) were actually less expensive to buy than a 1980 or early 90 softail. So, I gave it away as a lost cause. Decided low K's and a dealer warranty were better than something that was almost certainly going to cost me down the track. Anyhow, good luck with the search and ride safe!
