As some of you know, I'm searching for an BA or SM
I just came across a BA with 6600 miles in my area, the guy is asking $5300 - what do you think? Includes a couple aftermarket upgrades, including a gunfighter seat. Opinions?
Are the miles high for the price?

What year is it?
What are the aftermarket pieces?
Does he still have the stock seats?
Any mods?

I picked up a 03 SM with same miles, two seats, sissy bar, bunch of crome, risers, belt conversion etc. for $5k. Got from a dealer and also got $350 in store credit.

I have seen two for sale around here lately. Both red and black speedmasters. I know that there is one on rt 4 in Durham just past wagon hill farm. The guy has had it out almost every nice day since last sept. Next time I drive by I'll grab the contact info for you. The other was in Nottingham for 6200, havent seen it for a couple of weeks though.

Note BMWHD has a brilliant 02 for sale at $5,900 (see classifieds). Not near you but a good comparison point.

Grail, 6600 miles is nothin'. I've seen '03s anywhere from $4K to $6K on The Market. So this sounds just about right. And Grump has a good point about the tire and brake wear, too. So check that out. Cheers, Dwight (I wonder if Howie Mandell rides a Triumph?....naw....I'll bet that dweeb rides a SCOOTER)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I'd say that is a little high. Look up the Kelley blue book price. Donny,a member here, sold his for $5,000 and it had Sceptre pipes, all the extra chrome available and it was really in excellent condition.
