Hi all. New to the site as I am just considering a 1996 Thunderbolt and I figured this was probably a good place to start. Bike only has 3000 miles on it. I'm wondering what I should be looking for and if there are any known problems that should raise a red flag for me. I'm not new to bikes as I've had a variety of crotch rockets and a couple Harleys and a trike over the years but I've been away from bikes for about 5 years and never actually been around Buells at all. What kind of price would be out of line for a bike like this? It is in beautiful condition looks wise but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Anything I should be weary of when riding it? Thanks.
