I took this bike on trade for a car, but decided I'm more of a Gold Wing, BMW or FJR sport touring kind of guy. Don't know much about this bike other than the previous owner worked on bikes for a living & this was his personal bike. It has 26,010 miles, starts right up & has a good, powerful battery. Custom exhaust has a great sound. The front tire was bald, so I replaced it with a matching Continental Motion tire. Has 10 miles on it now. As you see, the rear tire is nearly new too. Custom HID headlights with blue color. Scratches all over, typical for a 17 year old motorcycle. The front fender is cracked, but there's a replacement black fender for $95 here on ebay with free shipping if that bothers you. I rode this bike for the first time this week & found out that it "bucks" in 2nd gear. Only 2nd gear, no other gears. Not sure what that's all about, but I want to be upfront. The bike is very powerful otherwise (pretty aggressive sounding too with that custom exhaust.) I've priced this bike much lower than others due to the fact I can't tell you much about it & that issue with 2nd gear. I'm going to take a hit on the sale price with no reserve. Oil is dirty & its time for an oil change. I may do that prior to listing ending. Clear Georgia Title. Trailer it or drive away with the title & bill of sale. Inspections are welcome and encouraged. I'll work closely with your shipping company. Sale is AS-IS. This is a running motorcycle which was used for daily transportation according to the previous owner, but other than a 5 mile local ride, I can't verify it's condition in much detail. 10% of the sales price will be donated to the nearby Civil Air Patrol Squadron to be used for cadet programs & emergency services training.
