Sadly, my 2006 1500 Classic has an intermittent electrical problem that no one can seem to track down & I'm tired of dealing with it. The bike is going to go on Craigslist & someone who has more time & know how can get themselves a deal.
Anyway, I did some looking online & two bikes have jumped out at me. Both can be had for $3500 so I'm trying to decide which.
2003 1500 Nomad. Bike looks exceptionally clean & has a lot of extras (also has new front & rear tires), but clocks in at 49k miles. Owner says the bike runs fantastic & he's only selling because he has some bills to pay. I like the cast wheels but I'm not crazy about the color. But I guess beggars can't be choosers.
Pic below (not sure why he had his old lady stand in front of the bike, but whatever).
2002 Victory TC92V. Bike looks used, but has very low miles...only 8,500! It looks like the stock bike to me, but I don't know a lot about Victory motorcycles. I know it's air & oil cooled, which doesn't thrill me, but it works for a lot of folks here in FL. Not a fan of the spoked wheels, but other than that I like the overall look of the bike.

So for the same money, based on what you can see & what I've shared, which seems like the better deal? I've not seen either in person yet. Will be seeing the Victory tomorrow and the Nomad on Thursday...unless the mechanic can officially resolve the electrical issue tomorrow. I have my doubts though, but not due to his ability. Just because this issue has been going on since May and no one can seem to figure it out.
Thanks in advance!
