$6000 eh..you got your moneys worth out of it..how many miles didja have on it? Are they going to take it or do you get to part it out?
It has 179,604 miles on it. I paid $12K for it 11 years ago. They're gonna take it. I'm pulling my gps of it today, and all the wiring for my heated gear. It's been a great bike, probably the most dependable vehicle I've ever owned. I seriously doubt if I find another one quite like it. I did find an airhead GS for sale which is whispering seductively in my ear...
Rode to work under a full moon this morning. It was beautiful, but it was chilly . Coffee tastes extra good on a bracing morning.
that works out to what, better than 30 miles per cent right? hard to beat that. I think the air heads are cool too, but I do not think they have the same reliability as the oilhead bikes, and they are typically more expensive. the oilheads are like 1984 corvettes, ugly and cheap.
There's an '05 1200GS for sale locally. Has a top box but no bags. $5K, 35K miles. Down side is it's got those dagnabit cast wheels instead of spokes.
Wow. You take suggestions well....shhh...don't tell Vicki. You'll enjoy the ride home. Go a "long way", more fun than 16.
Team- Navaho is already up there and I'm heading out due in by nightfall. We're staying on Smith Mountain Road off of Hwy 7 south of Jasper, heading back to Baton Rouge on Sunday Morning. Time to put the goats back on the rope and your daughters back in the cellar. Post up or give me a ring if you want to cross paths for tall tales and foolish shenanigans.

My plan exactly. I have to go to Gentry at noon to do a presentation for United Way. I will take a leisurely ride on the country back-roads
Well, considering you've probably paid twice that in premiums over the life of the bike, I'd say it would be easy to sleep taking that much for it.
Gotta have something that the Missus can sling her cheeks across as well. her comfort probably factors more into this than mine.
I had a brisk commute on my BMW 650 variant today. The TR650 is getting a lot of good press and the dealers have to be pleased. I test rode a Yamaha WR250, last weekend for the first time. That bike is a blast to ride and relatively cheap to buy and own. nlp
Just by chance, if any of y'all have an unneeded STOCK shock spring for this bike , I am a buyer. Or I can trade one I have which is for a 220-250 lb rider. Thanks.
Good Price! I paid a little more for mine last year but it only had 13,000 miles on it. I have the cast wheels, but I don't intend on taking it off road much so not a problem. Would the front wheel off your old bike fit the front? If so you might be able to pick up a used rear wheel somewhere. I'd like to find a set and mount TC 80's on them just in case.......
