I've had my eye on this Wee for a little bit now and am having a hard time deciding whether to buy or wait. I've used the coin flip app on my Droid but it isn't helping so I thought I might ask for some assistance on this one.
It's: 2009 non-ABS 650 Wee with 20,000 miles and is in "excellent" condition. He says the lowest he'd be willing to go is $5000. Goodies include a Givi 3 Hard bag luggage kit, centerstand, hand guards, Givi touring windscreen, mirror relocation kit.
Now I haven't looked at it yet due to my schedule but hopefully I'll be able to look at it Wednesday.
Do you'all think this is a decent price? Is there anything I should check out specifically? I have perused the stromtrooper forum but you guys are the true experts  Bigok

Help me!!!  OMGOMGOMG

NADA value (for my area) is $4,280 to $5,630, so $5k with full 3-case set and centerstand is a good deal.  Hit it!  You know you want it when you are using a coin flip app!

$5K for a nicely farkled Wee is a fair price. $4500 would be a very good price (considering the miles).

If it is to replace the Thruxton, I may reconsider my opinion.

The color is orange which I normally wouldn't be into but Halloween is right around the corner  Thumbsup
The Thrux is staying. I bought the Thrux last fall right after my daughter was born knowing that I wasn't gonna be doing any week long trips this summer. My plan was to get something a little more long distance friendly this fall/winter/next spring. Also I wouldn't mind a bike that isn't sceered of dirt roads. I can't afford a Tiger 800XC  Drool and the Wee is a nice cheap (all be it ass-ugly) alternative. I was kinda hoping to find a cheaper, older, maybe even slightly beat-up version that somebody already "farkled" out but this seems like a decent deal.
I really shouldn't be buying any bike right now but my garage would be complete for many years if'n I do.

If I did buy this bike I think a trip to the northeast would be a nice shakedown ride. It would have to be next year and may or may not involve Mr. Clubbers....  Smile
