My question is I can buy a new 2014 from a dealer for $5999 plus negotiable fees or a used 2014 DLX from a dealer for $5000 minus whatever they want to give me for my current bike (kbb trade in @ $2700). The used bike has some mods like windscreen and rear rack. Looks to be in good shape with 24,000 miles. I don’t think 24,000 miles on a modern Honda is too many, but you guys know these bikes. I don’t think I’ll lose either way but would like some owner input. Thank you in advance.
If you prefer the bigger gas tank, shape of the tank, dual exhausts vs single, red color, ABS, then I’d get the DLX without hesitation vs the brand new STD provided you ensure it’s been treated well via a documented service history. If it’s been kept up with regard to maintenance, then 24k miles on a Honda is no problem at all. Both sound like good deals and given the overbuilt and under-stressed motor, mileage is probably less of a deciding factor if it’s been well maintained.
