Before putting any money down, look though the service manual. Yamaha often seems to be determined to make all their money on repairs and assuring that they get it by making everything as difficult as possible.
As for it not being a wannabe Harley, it certainly looks like a shovelhead FLHS to me. For close to that price, you can get a Dynaglide with twice the warrentee, and it's a name brand bike that is supposed to look like a Harley.
If I were looking for a bigger bike and it were available with a bit higher bars and the pegs set maybe 4 inches farther to the front, I would seriously consider the Triumph Sprint.
