it's a decent deal. offer the guy $3200 cause it's 2 yrs. old and just cause that's how **** is done. if he goes for it... good for you.... if not, well at least you tried.. either way GET the bike. it's what you want and the buy in is lower than anything else you've found.

yeah, that may sound like a good deal about the one with 86 miles, but as was just posted and proven, it is still too much money. It's still three model years old and when you go to sell it which you will, that will matter. I'd say no more than $3000 on any '06. A stock bike is probably the one I'd look for. jmo

If it's a true 86 miles, and it's what you're really lookin' for, I'd snap it up for $3K.
Great saving over an 09 which is essentially the same bike.

+1 Only 89 miles sounds tempting.

'09 NOT the same bike. same frame, but that's where the 'sameness' ends. down to the swingarm and up to the grips the bike is different. it shares only the engine, and that is changed in the tranny part of it. let's not mislead potential buyers as these two bikes share essentially nothing but the frame and engine. wheels, forks, shock, tank, seat, handlebars, footpeg position, tires, bodywork, dashboard, lights, etc. These have all been changed hence the two bikes being nothing alike. I've owned both and they're two different bikes both in handling and power delivery as well as how the bike fits the rider.
