Sometimes the machine and operator just have to get to know each other.
Sometimes this means it is traded in! Just saw a 2013 CB1100 at GoAZ with 496 miles on her. Traded in. Yikes!
He's gonna lose a lot of money on that.
I almost wish I'd gone slower. More and more used ones, with three-digit miles are popping up...it's a shame. Don't know if it's the bad economy or unrealistic buyer expectations.
Mine's at a thousand miles now. It's a keeper, even if the vibration doesn't mitigate. There's much to like. And with thirty years' riding experience, I'm past my break-in period, too.
I cannot see selling a cycle that still has OEM gas in it, for cripes' sake.....
