  A Harley-Davidson motorcycle, even a used one, can be pricey. For example, according to VTwinTrader.com, a 1992 FLSTF "fatboy" can cost upwards of $12,000 for its "Dynatek ingnition system, Arlen Ness turn signals and chrome swing arm." Because of the cost involved, it is good to know the history of any used Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
  
  

Mileage and Condition Are Also Important

• When buying used, check for a bike that is rusted or worn.moteur de harley image by fxprod from Fotolia.com
  
  The overall mileage and condition of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle are critical factors in deciding how much you should pay. "Mileage" according to Munising.com, "is the main basis of price" for a used Harley-Davidson motorcycle. In addition, when it comes to bike condition, be sure to "check the exterior or the motorcycle as well as its performance."
