Depending on milage and how well it's been taken care of makes a difference. If it was me buying this bike, I might offer the dealer $1800 cash and if they didn't take it I would probably walk. That is my opinion if it was me buying it. Just my opinion.

Leave it up to the french to come up with something so unpractical. That is one reason they are known for losing battles.

I just bought a Z1R Strike in solid black with the dark lens. Inexpensive and for the money a very nice helmet. I don't get any wind noise at all from it.

And I heard that F-150's are made by Ford and they make the junkiest trucks.
When every one of your posts sounds stupid it is time to go play somewhere else.

$6500 is too much for an 02 V Star 1100 when you can buy a new one for $6995 and any air cooled engine will have a lot of internal engine wear if synthethic oil was never used. Buy a new bike and customize it the way you like it, it will mean more to you. My dealer is selling the new V-Star 1100 cl...

A gravel driveway is fine unless it is too deep. My wife found out the hard way at her friends house and got buried in their gravel driveway and dumped her new Aero. Ouch! :shock: That big chrome single pipe kept her from falling completely over and taking out the lights but there is a nice ding in ...
