Used Harley Davidson Sportster Classifieds and Reviews

If you were to survey bikers for their favorite motorcycle, the Harley Davidson Sportster would rank right at the top of the list, if not in first place. This is perhaps the reason that this bike is Harley’s best selling new model as well as the reason that used Sportsters for sale have a habit of disappearing from the classifieds in an alarmingly short amount of time.



This fact alone makes the Harley Sportster a standout. Statistics show that it has the best resale value in its class. In some years, many used Sportsters command close to 100% of the price paid for them when they were brand new on the dealership’s showroom floor. If that’s not cheap transportation, my friend, I beg you to please share your information on you believe to be better.

SPORTSTER REVIEWS and TEST RESULTS
Each year, not only do consumer reviews consistently give Sportsters a very high grade in the categories of performance and reliability, but hd forums are filled with comments from satisfied customers. Indeed low reviews and test scores are few and far between if not downright rare.

More often you see requests from owners looking for used Sportster parts to use for saving a few bucks on the repair and maintenance of their Harley Davidson Sportster while keeping the bike as close to factory stock as possible. This brings me to say that it’s unusual to find a top to bottom, stock Sportster that does not exceed the speed and limitations listed in published road tests and specs.

SPORTSTER PERFORMANCE MODS
Most motorcycle enthusiasts are aware that the performance of their motorcycle can be improved by re-jetting the carburetor, installing a set of Harley Screaming Eagle low restriction mufflers and an H-D Screaming Eagle low restriction air filter. These are modifications that may be recommended at the time (or shortly after) the time of purchase by your dealer. It has been reported that these mods are very desirable and effective and will not affect your new bike warranty. However, it is always a good idea to check to be sure before buying parts or a kit to make performance upgrades.

RESALE VALUES OF USED HARLEY DAVIDSON SPORTSTERS for SALE by OWNER
If these details have failed to pull you into the Harley Davidson Sportster lovers club, perhaps I can recruit some number crunchers that focus on issues involving retail and resale prices. For those of you that frequent the auctions offering motorcycles for sale and motorcycle classified ads, compare what a used Harley Davidson Sportster sells for compared to other models. I believe that you may find the depreciation to be less than most Harleys or Hondas. With that plus performance taken into consideration, how can you not want at least one Sportster in your collection?
