Bike was tuned-up and fluids were changed beginning of the season
Excellent cosmetic condition (according to the owner, but I will know for sure tomorrow)

Probably should have found out if it was a good deal before purchasing it  ;), but looks good to me. "Fluids" meaning oil and...brake fluid? Regardless, seems like a good enough deal. Enjoy!

Dave  :cheers:

Beat my price for a 2001. So, if it is as good a bike as mine....Great Deal.

Or it could be the blown engine that you were talking about in your other post. A high milage bike in a short time is baetter than an old bike with the same miles, time hasn't taken it's toll, only the rider  :laugh: . I'd pay more for an 04 with 20k than a 94 with 20k.....so long as the engine wasn't blown.  :laugh:
just drink it off  :cheers:

I think it's a great deal, too!

If it's worth it to you, then get it, and welcome to the GS fold!

you would be the only one, an i under stand what your saying. but fact is every one that looked at it wanted one with lower miles and i cant argue with that if i am asking the same price as one with lower miles of the same year or newwers
