Nearly new 2008 AE in NH $5800

Not mine. Just noticed it on Crags list and know there are some folks who love these auto clutch bikes. Seems like a good price for such low miles.

That's a great find.

Wow, 3000 miles on it! That equates to one solid afternoon of riding each and every year since new!

Hard to imagine why the owner would take 10 years to decide that they don't really need this bike.

Low-mileage AE's are becoming hard to find for those who want (or need) one.

Prob decided a horizontally opposed in line four was too confusing

I loves me some auto clutches, but does the very low mileage on a 10 YO bike worry anyone else?

Sure looks like the first picture is of a 2013A model...to go along with the whole horizontally opposed thing...something smells fishy here

 

[RossKean]

I agree that the first picture is not the same bike. Looks like a '13. Other pictures are clearly NOT a '13 - shiny front fender and lack of clutch lever. Also the "aftermarket fog lights" and (apparently) Canyon Cages.

I would certainly approach this with some caution.

Looks suspect overall. With the 2013 as the leading picture either the bike is hot, seller doesnt know what they have, or bike is a unicorn.

Having had an '08 AE, pictures 3 and 4 look about right. Rims were silver then. Color was Granite Grey with the silver belt line.

Just picked one up for under $5k with 15k (08 AE) but had upgraded suspension, RDL, other good stuff. Coolant, brake, and clutch fluids were all probably original real nasty stuff. Overall pleased with purchase.
