Well I finally found one that seems a good buy, 7700 miles on an '04 that is $6500 obo. has T boost and new turn signals thats it.
Part of me though is a bit discouraged, I've never dealt with a carb'd bike. And this one has 4! Am I going to pay out the back end on maintaining this? I really want a standard bike because the sport position kills me but I didn't want to give up the power of all the older bikes I've had so I looked to Mr. Max to fill that void.
Anything I should know? I mostly want this to piddle around as a daily rider and maybe some light travel on (no more than 6-8 hrs) So I figured a good seat, wind screen, saddle bags and foot rest would do the trick.
Maybe one day beef up the suspension but Im not one for the twisties, or at least, riding them fast.
I guess mostly my worries are the maintenance of the bike if anything. I havent really done much beyond oil changes on these..
