Looking at 99 SH
Hello,
I am new to the SH world. I have ridden for 16 years, everything from dual sport to cruisers to touring bikes and crotch rockets. I am looking mainly for a good commuter (35mls one way), yet something I can go out and have fun on, along with doing some decent trips. I average 30,000 miles a year. Is this bike that versitile? I have heard many good things, a few bad, and some indifferent. I can pick up this 99 for $3000, with 27,000 miles. Has a few scratches here and there where it went down, nothing major, and no mechanical problems. New tires, brakes, chain, sprocket and oil change. It's 8 hrs away, and the guy assures me he would have no apprehension of riding it home as it sits. Sounds like a decent deal to me, what do you guys think?
Thanks!
