If it is the one in Issaquah. Go get it! It has heated grips right? If you snooze.... Yes me thinks its kv's former moto.
I would have bought it post haste if i would have known it was going to end up being that #. When I saw it here it was essentially the same $ as the one I ended up with the addition of factory heated grips. ($360 just for parts)
I bought an essentially brand new bike (crazy low mi) from a member but paid more $ and had it shipped. It had mods but no high dollar heated grips. I wish...my first ride - really cold fingers! I wanted ABS on whatever bike I ended up with. New Triumphs with ABS were too expensive. Suzuki Vstrom but no style/soul. Wasn't much interested in anything else. Almost bought a 13 abs for about that # but glad I got the DLX (4.6gal tank).
You might read the thread on resale value.. I was interested in these a couple years back but noticed they weren't hot sellers. I wanted something that had good resale value, i.e. triumph bonneville. ABS didn't enter in to the equation then.
24k miles on a well cared for ride....nothing. When you go to sell and it has 50k on it...that might give some folk pause buy by then you will have gotten your money's worth and could probably sell for half that easy. Just guessing.
