Congratulations on your score.
is it a done deal?
You might be able to knock them down a bit on price , as the mileage is a bit higher than most go for that price.
Ultimately it your happiness that is most important.
Beautiful bike
Its fuel injected. Lots of spec sites list carburetor as one of the values since nearly all pre-05ish bikes are carbed. It uses throttle body injection which is a basic form of fuel injection, but it still has all of the advantages. Better fuel economy, smoother throttle response, and easy cold startups.
Doesn't hurt to ask on the price. But at the end of the day, if it's the bike you want at a price your comfortable with? Then that's all that matters. You'll regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did!
Smart choice on sticking with FI. I know a lot of people like carbs, but not me. I just can't give up instant startup, smooth roll on power, and zero maintenance!

Nice looking bike, good luck and happy riding. As for price, that bike has some added chrome, fender tips, headlight cover, top rails on bags, and some more, I like the NOMAD on the front fender too, If you add all the add- ons I think you got a good deal.

Thanks for the clarification on that Romans. I knew it was FI from that year, just that spec guide confused me. Appreciate you taking the time to check that out.
Dandy bike...If it is a few hundred too much or too little and it has been well kept, I see no big deal....I sold a pristine 07 Nomad with just 10K miles for $6800 a couple of years ago but it did not have the extra chrome stuff yours does.....
I will check the specs on bike to see if that year has FI, but I feel certain it does.
Well, so many negative replies and stuff gave me nightmares all week so I pulled out of the deal today. Not sure what direction I'll go now but still bikeless for the time being.
Thanks however for all the thoughts, positive, negative and neutral. Certainly gave me alot to think about.
Ragincajun, don't be turned off by all the comments. I saw a bike that took my eye, but was scared off cause of the age n price then found my Vulcan the next day. I thought it was a bit pricey but with the history of it and it was serviced every summer, I thought it was the deal maker.
Have u offered the seller a price on the bike lower than his asking price?
You never know, if you don't ask.....
Doesn't hurt to try and get the price down as much as possible if ur really keen on the bike....... If they don't budge on the price, do u still think that it's still worth the price and will u be happy paying that price. If everything is YES, then there's nothing else to do but buy it. I'm sure you'll have years of happy riding with this beast

I had actually talked that seller down another $400 which wasn't a lot but it was about $1000 under the estimated retail price.
Looked at a v2k yesterday seemed to have some transmission issues when I was riding it and possibly electrical issues as well. I liked the bike in the ride equally with the 1600 but still going to keep looking. Supposed to look at another 1600 today not quite as blinged out which is fine with me, for basically the same price range but a lot less miles. My bike will show up sooner or later.
