For me it was about the same as a car. They have there value on what it's worth retail/privet/etc.....
$7K is pretty decent for that bike. You shouldn't have any issues getting a loan for that.
P.S. Get forward controls for that bike. I'm, on a good day, 5'8". The mid-controls make me to crouched up on that bike. You'll be a lot more comfy with your legs stretched out slightly.

Good eye on that one. I'm almost wondering if I'm to big for that bike. I'm about 5'10" @ 210lbs
Must test this out. It's just these 1200s are so much more nimble than the bigger bikes. This would be my first motorcycle.
I have to be nosey, what were your payments? I'll have a rough idea as to where I'll be. Hopefully not over $150 a month for rme
8% financing through a credit union? Yowzas... Usually the whole reason you go to a credit union is lower rates.
My credit union uses NADA for value. I'm not sure if there's a NADA for bikes but NADA for cars is pretty generous in it's pricing. I think I'm at 1.99 with the bimmer and terms aren't a big deal. Expect to pay a little more in interest with extended terms though.

Yeah you are not to big at all for that bike.
I was going to get a Nighster 1200 but walked out with my VRod. Only reason was the Nightster was nowhere to be found.
You will love that bike. They have enough go but shouldn't be to much. Plus the look cool as is and there are 1000s of bad ass aftermarket shit for them on the cheap.

well for starters - bikes are a luxury item and financed as such. cars are always going to be cheaper to finance than bikes, boats, etc. its not that i had bad credit, i just didn't have much of it.
anywho... yes payments were right around 150
Sorry, wasn't trying to say you had bad credit. 8% just seems really high even for a luxury item. Maybe they're all that high though. Just seems like a lot of money. I'd try to put down as much as I can in that case because you'd be paying $1500 in interest on $7000 which is effectively 20%.
Totally understand what you're saying. Not enough credit sometimes hurts as well. My wife learned when we bought a new car in December. I'm hoping to get some where around 3-5 percent
Sweet, I'll give them a shot, but I totally forgot about a home equity loan. I have a mortgage and I'm not even close to being upside down. I may go that route.
This is true, but most bikes when they are totaled cost as much as your car's fender bender.
A little far for you, but I've always used Earthmovers in Aurora and they are great.
Also look what was just listed, a little older, but less miles and cheaper:
