After years of encouraging my wife to learn to ride she said ok. got her license and took over my 2012 SE.
Today I found a 2007 bonnie with 4600 miles.
this is a carb model and I believe first year of the 865
anything I should know about this model.
Things to look out for?
PO has replace rocker box gasget, old one was "weeping"
tires, old originals had cracking
and, fork seals?
old ones had a very slight leak

Engine is rock solid.

Carbs vs EFI you will find fans of both. (I like carbs)

New tires will make all the difference.

Forks? Great bike to work on if you are a do it yourself kinda person.

you did not give us a price?

You do realize this is an America/Speedmaster forum. Glad to have you just sayin.
