Only 18000 miles and only 2000 miles over the last four years. Running little bit rough but nothing that can't be fixed.

I have said it before and I absolutely stand by it. The carb model Americas and Speedmasters are the absolute best value for a used cruiser that there is. They cover the whole spectrum. In stock form they are great for beginners and once you are ready to "move up" intake, exhaust, ignition, and carb rejet, etc. will put these bikes running right there with big twins.
