All of the other F's in the area are being sold for above the KBB value for their respective years.

That said, I'll probably lower mine more later on.

To all those people who get in the habit of holding in the clutch and changing down multiple gears over time while slowing, This is why you do not do that. Change down a gear at a time and elt it back at so you are Always in the right gear.

Totally chopped the corner too. Followed by target fixation and there is only one result.

I would want to give that bike a close look before paying. While they could be 100% honest about it, I am curious if the speedometer is new or the entire bike is new.........

Either way, a three year old bike with that low mileage is probably going to need some stuff anyway - tires, carb cleaning, petcock rebuilt, etc.

They just got it last February. Carbs and petcock should be fine. Tires are probably iffy. If it was stored inside, should be good to go.

I base that off of mine that was stored for 3 years with 19 miles!   

I was looking at another GS last fall but there were other better bikes (SV650/VFR800/SV1000/VTR1000F/ZX6R) for similar prices so I decided not to

Okay so I ordered a new fairing and horn and tach knob! Then it will be (almost) good as new!! 

If someone wants the old fairing to attempt or repair or whatever, shoot me an offer
