Assuming you want a C14.  That's an excellent price.

This one? http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/2041036780.html
I've been watching that and can't believe it hasn't sold. That's freaking $600 under trade-in value! over $2,500 under retail book. Redonculous.
I was going to pick it up until I test rode one and didn't care for it much. I should still buy it to flip it this spring. Buy it and take away my temptation, I don't really have room for another.

Thats the one....

Hard time deciding, I really want it. But I would have to stretch for it, which makes me double think my "need".

But I do commute all summer on motorcycles, and my GTSs are starting to show their age.

That's the spirit!  Thumbsup

I may do this in the Spring. I'd like a C14, have a VFR now, once owned a FJR that I liked and I miss the big couch touring and luggage space.

Keep cash aside for the valve check. And go for it.

From a rider's perspective, awesome freaking bike.

Dang - such a deal!  At that price you could probably ride it for a year, sell it and get all your money back if you happen to just not like it.

The left bag is crooked.  I don't think it was worth $6K, but I'll take it off your hands for $5500 since it's so obviously damaged.  Lol
