not the point.I'm not a fan of the 883, not enough umph at highway speeds to get out of an idiot's path.
not the point.
The red one is the better looking bike. The black one is the better bike.
not the point.
A $1000.00 better?
will the depreciation over age difference be the same?
Hard to say, it comes down to which has been better maintained. The depreciation curve favors the newer bike, all things considered.
Both bikes are very low miles, and dry stored ? so maintenance isn't much of an issue.
Look at both of them and get the one you want. The price differential isn't that much.
$1,000 over 8 years, makes the 2004 the better deal I think. ??
I was hoping I was right …. but..

As an MsF instructor, I have a couple questions.
What are you going to use the bike for
Back and forth to work.
Weekend getaways
Main transportation
They are both nice looking bikes. I am not offering an opinion either way, jut what are you using it for, either may suit your needs or maybe neither does.
Tom: With a spring fork, was that a 1949 or a later model Commemorative machine? Harley introduced the Hydra-Glide front fork suspension in 1950. My Dad had a 1949, waited until 1951 to trade to make sure any bugs in the 1950 changes had been resolved, if necessary. And those old spring "Buddy Seats" were terrific.
