I bought my 2005 Shadow with 8800 (if memory serves) miles for $4300. Vulcans are around the same price range. Seems to me that $3200 for a 12 year old bike with 22k on it is a little high. You should offer them less. Say "I'll give you $2500 today". They can either take it or leave it.

I figured on CL, I'd offer them $2K if I decided to go that route. I really like what I'm reading about it, and it's a beautiful looking bike. The Shadow has 1,400 miles, no windshield but does have saddlebags. Also helps that I know the owner.

I'm 5-10 and about 230. Kinda figured the rebel would probably be a bit small. I know the power on it will be light, but primary use will be going to and from work, which tops out at 55 mph if I get on the bypass. Otherwise, tops out at 45.
