I just don't get it. a 1977 frame listed as a 2010...i wouldn't pay that much for a used duc. (maybe for a desmosedici)
Is this a decent price?

Quote2010 Harley-Davidson Custom, This is a one of a kind custom built Harley Davidson. Every part and design was picked by me. I took the design theme of a 1958 Duo Glide and made it a little more modern. The bike is brand new and has about a 1,000 miles on it. Lets start with the paint... House of Kolors Turquoise over large metal flake split with bright white. These pictures dont do the paint job any justice. This is a must see in person! This paint job alone cost $ 3,000. Drivetrain... Harley Davidson Evo 1340 engine, S and S carb., 6 speed transmission, belt drive, Crane Cams HI-4 Dual-Fire Performance Ignition and coil. Forward controls and PM Machine hand controls. Custom white diamond pleated seat made by Roberti Customs. Wire wheels with black rims and wide white wall tires. This was a ground up build and I'm the only owner of this bike. Getting titles for custom bikes is very difficult so my bike has a clear title of a 1977 Harley Davidson reconstructed title. VIN # 2A2204H7. If you are interested and want more info./pictures let me know. $19,500.00 obo.

The guy's smokin' crack.

You can buy a brand new 103 cu in H-D for that price.  This one is an 82 cu in (?) rebuilt bike with hinky paperwork.

But NorDog, it's a H-D! Which means the selling price for a used bike is (Original MSRP + All Money Invested) * Unique Modifier

Back in the mid 80's I sold real estate for a few years. (back when houses appreciated at a realistic rate) Went out to list an older home for sale and the owner had added up all his payments for the last 24 years and that's what he wanted for the house! That put him about $75,000 over market value on a house worth about $75000! I called my broker (an actual  "tin man" aluminum siding salesman from the 50's. the guy could sell snowballs to Eskimos.) and he couldn't get that old man to budge, either.
Some folks just aren't realistic.

true, but somebody put a helluva lot of time, effort & money into that.
he's probably hoping the frame won't collapse behind the steering head before the new owner pays!

Introducing the all new all modified 1987 honda elite converted to patented snomoped.. This thing is beast mode in the snow. No more worrying about winter storms because you have a machine that eats snow and shits nails like its tacobell. But its spring time and within a blink of an eye this beast turns into one sexy street owning scooter. CBR's and R1's can't touch this thing. It goes 0-27 in like 4.5 seconds. And i can't even start to tell you how many heads this thing turns. Talk about pussay magneto! Thats spanglish for chick magnet. This is perfect for the "must have everything" type guy to the "avg binge drinking" college student. Just think about how much money you'll save driving this thing to the liquor store instead of your car! It can haul some serious stuff too, everything from kegs to eggs. Selling because I bought a gerbil a few weeks ago that i took camping with me and it got lymes disease from a bunch of ticks and now i have a vet bill larger than Rosie O'Donnell's ass. Which is a good reason never to go to buckhorn state park ever again, that place is filled with homeless people and trillions of ticks waiting to give your gerbil lymes disease. But anyways this dream machine runs great and has up to date registration and clear title in hand. First $1000 cash gets bragging rights to be the biggest bad ass around!

Don't be silly, the speedo only goes to 160.
That's how fast it can go, 160.
