Cheap enough with a little haggling thrown in:D I know it won't have the brakes or suspension of a late model bike but it's low mileage and has a fairing which is what I want for one up touring. Might be able to pickup some used aftermarket shocks and stuff on Flea Bay. The owner is going to email me the date of manufacture. If it's 15 years old or older, I bypass all the RIV crap. It's located about 90 minutes drive south of here. Have a friend who had one with Ohlins on the rear and Race Tech did the internals on the forks and the bike handled very well. I have to dispute the 385 pounds bit in the ad though. Oh ya, I'll stick the Nitrous bottle on my Husky....LOL!!

A few things come to mind;the back tire still has the little nibs on the outer edges so at least that tire hasn't been ridden hard. And the center line tread looks deep so maybe that nitrous kit really hasn't been used on it.
The bike looks "cherry" and the miles are very very low.Soooo...what gives here? It's a freakin bargain. Unless it's a "steal".Or unless the motor is about to let go but runs ok for now.
I'd be checkin that guy's ownership real close and paying hard attention to the motor.
If everything checks out, you're loving it!
Let us know what happens.
