PLEASE READ ENTIRE AD: For sale by owner Rare 2009 Ridley Auto Glide Classic in GREAT Condition! Only 4,289 Miles! Hardly broken in. Mileage will go up during sale due to test drives, but will not exceed 4,500. Ridley is an American made fully AUTOMATIC motorcycle. Great for beginners, short riders, disabled, or riders that just don't want to worry about shifting. There is no clutch handle. You start it, give it gas, and go. Basically someone with no experience can get on this bike and drive it hundreds of miles (which is exactly what I did within 20 minutes after purchasing my last Ridley - this Ridley has only been driven about 50 miles since purchase). Less than 2000 ever made total (no clue how many were made with this paint, but I can't imagine it being even close to 1000). In 2009 the Ridley company stopped making bikes and did not do an entire year of production on this bike. First ever Ridley to feature an electronic fuel gauge. I know it's considered a collectors bike, but honestly these bikes are too fun to drive. I loved my 2005 and was really looking forward to driving this daily. It's considered the two-tone custom red and black paint ($500 extra when purchased from the dealer) and also has the black studded seat. Most of the pictures were taken with morning dew on the bike, please excuse that. I sold my last Ridley on here (Check my rating to see how the sale went, they loved it!) and purchased this one because it was not a trike. I felt I was ready for two wheels. We were informed on the 21st of this month that my teen sons insurance will not cover 20% of the cost of his new, needed, lower limp prosthesis and we have met 0 of the large deductible for this year. So, my bike has to go - pretty easy choice for me. This is the ONLY reason I am selling my bike. I drove 16 hours round trip to purchase this bike after my first one sold (this was of course before knowing what the insurance was going to do or the situation we are now in) and honestly would do it again if I had the means and saw this bike for sale. I took this bike apart when I got it home to check all belts and clutch parts, as well as to service it. It's good to go and won't need anything to be driven home from here or for the better part of next season. The next drive belt is due at 8,500 miles. I've also printed out the maintenance schedule for the bike straight from the Ridley site. Runs and drives perfect. Needs nothing. I will be replacing the spark plugs before the new owner picks it up. Could use the carb cleaned because I haven't done it, but it is working fine as is. Condition breakdown: Just did an oil change and it hasn't been 15 miles driven since. Great tread on tires. Clutch belt looks good and won't need replacement any time soon. (I did all the maintenance on my last Ridley and have spoke with Ridley mechanics, as well as the Ridley site for buying parts, regarding what to look for on belt wear.) I did the Transmission/Clutch service right after I bought it and it's only been driven a few miles since that service. I will include the dry spray lubricant for the buyer so you don't have to order it from Ridley the next time you do the service. Just bled the entire brake system and cleaned the brake master out. Brakes amazingly well now. Brake pads and rotors look good and will not need change out soon. Saddle bags are in ok condition, but the tassels are missing on one of the bags. Speedometer works great and is upgraded on the 2009 to be on the tank which makes it a lot easier to see then my last one was. Seat is in great condition for it's age. All lights work, speedo works. Everything, but the horn works which I will try to look at this week, but being that it's the holidays I may not have time. I was told it was garaged all of it's life and from the condition of the paint I believe that. I am the third owner. It was first in Florida and now here in Georgia. No rust! I currently have it in a covered 10x10 tent with my husbands bike. This is considered one of the best sounding Ridleys made. Mimics the Harley sound closer then my 2005 did. You can come look at it, drive it - if licensed, and even have it looked at by a Ridley shop. There is one located an hour or so from our home. I am that certain that this bike is in the condition I am stating. I can use the video face time ap or I'll download another ap you may have to share video of the bike starting and running over the phone. Paint is in GREAT condition with no noticeable flaws. There may be a small scratch or two I haven't seen, but nothing serious. To me it looks almost as good as a new bike, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Please look carefully at the photos and ask for more if you want them. Chrome and Aluminum need polishing. Escorted Test drives only to Licensed Motorcycle riders if you plan to come look at it before buying. I suggest that this is done so there are no issues. Kelley Blue Book has a trade in value of $6860 and a private party sale price listed of $9770. This is with the mileage estimated between 20030 and 30330 for an '09 which this bike is no where near so I feel my asking price is more then fair. Would make a great First bike for the wife or a Christmas gift for a new, short, or disabled rider. Call and text 262-365-7460 if you have any questions, concerns, want to test drive, or need video and pictures . Located in Ellijay, GA. Will not ship out of country or at my cost. Cash only within 7 days of purchase on pick up with $500 deposit right after purchase! Pick up must be made within 7 days of purchase unless you make other arrangement prior to buying. If full cash payment is received before 7 days I can hold it for no extra charge for a month or two as long as you carry insurance and we agree in writing that I am not responsible for any damage or wear as of the day of purchase. Will help get it to a shipper for the price of hauling it, but only after full cash payment is made along with the cost of getting it to the shipper. I am willing to help someone with the purchase as much as I can, but I will not ship out of country. Extra features from Ridley for the 2009 year: Low 24.5" Seat Height Mechanical Parking Brake - my 05 model did not have this and I gotta tell you it's awesome not to have to chuck the wheel LED Turn Signals The tank mounted dash is a self calibrating speedometer and tachometer with odometer and a re-settable trip meter. Below the instrument cluster is an LED fuel gauge and battery volt meter. Both right and left fuel caps are still accessible for filling the individual, but joined 4.2 gallon stretched tanks. Oil light is to the right of the mileage.
