How many previous bike owners would make you suspicious to buy that bike? I have my eye on a RoadKing and I would be the 5th owner. The model year is 2000.
Maybe pay the $20 and do a car fax report. I think they cover bikes too but not sure.
1st owner in South Jersey, two years later the 2nd owner was in PA, then two years later the 3rd owner was in Central Jersey and the 4th owner I am buying from is in Central Jersey.
Guys, Thanks for the quick response.
The bike has 17,000 miles.

A conversation on Friday led me to believe a full service was done last October. BTW the bike looks immaculate and well care for, just like I would keep it.
I called the local dealer today and got the parts guy. He ran the VIN and only found a service ticket from 07. Nothing since then. When I mentioned the owners name the parts guy perked up and said " Steve is in here all the time buying stuff".
I thought all service work was in a central database some where but I guess not.
Also, the present owner said he always wanted a Harley and found this one.
I am still at a loss and will try other dealers on Monday to see if they have more info.
I don't think car fax works for a bike
