wow, 7777 that is cool. maybe my vanity plate... lol. originally was asking $3500. now asking $2800. i think the price is right if the bike is sound. I know where to put the gas and where to check and put the oil, but that's the extent of my mechanic ability. I'm just afraid of it costing me a lot more in "deferred" maintenance. I am sure I will learn a lot about the parallel twin after owning one for a while.

Maybe I'm trying to know the unknowable. I like the bike very much and would love to be her new owner, I'm just afraid I may be biting off more than (my wallet) can chew if there is mechanical issues lying just below the surface.

And yes. 10k miles on a 10 year old bike does seem attractive, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking this thing could have been wrecked and collected dust for several years till the OL finally had enough and made him fix it up and get rid of it...
