That's a hell of a deal.

At the risk of being flamed big time, I would bet the main reason that bike sold for so little is that horrid paint job.

Not that he needs it, I threw in a bid on this c. 1990 Davidson Impulse for my son, just to watch it, figuring the bike would sell for $1000+. After all, isn't Davidson a contemporary master of the flame that the KOF would/should respect?

Seems not. This 57mm bike sold, fully equipped, for <$336. And not because the wheels were sew ups.

Yes, George Hollenberg MD is right. If the 1983 date gets in the way of clear appreciation of professed core values, get rid of the date.
