Where's the best place to start looking for a second hand bike, specificely harley?

Searched on Autotrader, and the prices are odd, they range between 60 and 100k - but the years don't make sense, e.g. a 2015 for 69k and a 2013 for 100k... and there are multiple examples like that.
 
Can't help with that, but if/when you're ready to do your licence I can "assist" with some test material (vs paying those schools to teach it to you)

Customs.

A custom version can easily cost 30k more than a standard.

Remember Harley make more money off accessories than bikes.

I would buy one from Harley directly. It's part of the experience of ownership.
 
I'll be in te market for a bike towards the end of the yar, early next year.
I have no idea what to look at at this stage. Currently on a scooter, and it's getting too slow for the route i travel.

What bikes do I need to look at that can do over 30km/l. New & 2nd hand.

Older classic bikes? Like the look of the old school truimph bikes, but no idea how it is to drive them or maintenance issues they might have.

Over 30kms per liter... What does the Honda NC700 get? Think they claim 28km/L.

My cbx 250 gets about 25km/l

My KTM 390 gets about 23km/l
 
Respect to the guys I saw riding this morning in Cape Town.. could barely see out my windshield..

I think the KTM Duke 390 might do close to that in mileage. It's a ton of fun to ride too.

HONDA NC750X
