Still overpriced. You could save $1500-2000 driving to Ohio to buy one.
My guess is it is a "S" Model. The 2009 SF didn't come in Green. He may have changed plastic but he didn't say so in the ad.

looks like a fair buy, says a little negotiable, so you might get a bit more off if you flash some green. The picture looks honest too. Sometimes pictures can lie. I took some of a clunker we had when I was selling for a dealership. I had to be honest with the buyer to tell him it wasn't in as great of condition as the pictures made it look. A little sun, a good background and a bike can look better than show room.

That would also explain the small 250mm brake rotor too. No one in their right mind would buy new 17" rims and spokes if the bike already had them.

This is very true. I looked at an '09 before I bought my '07. The pics posted on CL looked good. I met the guy, and was not impressed. The plastics and seat were faded (badly enough for me to assume it was never garage kept), it was dirty, and the tires were worn badly. None of these issues could be seen on the pics. Needless to say, I passed on it.

To the OP, that green bike is WAY overpriced. Appears to be a great looking machine tho. Good luck in your search.
