I check cycle trader and craigs list all over the country about once a week and this is the first DLX I have found used anywhere. They sure are pretty when you finally see them in the flesh. I may have finally found a dealer also I like. The owner cuts to the chase from the get go. Even told me hey, your Nighthawk is worth more to you than it is to me so I would be best to sell it out right. His reasoning was that due to its age not the shape its hard to get anybody to loan money on it and most of his customers had to borrow money to buy even scooters. Perfectly understandable and I appreciated his honesty.
Eventually, the right one will come along but I sure hated missing that particular one so close to home and being just like new. They do sit a little higher than a Nighthawk. I can ride it but boy Im close. I am pretty sure I would want the seat shaved about 1 inch just to feel a little more comfortable. Im not so sure its so much seat height than it seems to be wider on the 1100.
I sure did. He said it was unlikely the deal would fall through the cracks because it was a personal friend of his that bought it. Still gave him my name and number just in case.
