well i'm pretty sure the owner sold it some somebody, and that somebody is trying to sell it. now i'm all about low-balling, but $5k is an insult.........lol

and the owner is an aquaintence, so i don't wanna look too stupid.

now i'd pay $6k for it.......and i might throw out that offer....

There's another $800-1000 you're gonna need to spend if the owner weighs significantly different than you, and sprung/valved that suspension accordingly.

I've always been a fan of gold wheels. They look good with several body colors.

That's the experience I had the first time I rode one. It was an 05 model and to be truthful...I sort of liked it.

I've ridden it again since then and still feel the same.

It didn't hurt that it also had a turbo and close to 250 rwhp so once I got used to it...it was kinda fun.

Me getting ready to head out on the beast...



Taking it out again but this time with the wife on a Duc...
