[QUOTE="MartyO, post: 1400787, member: 2193"] In my experience, I would go for the used ES. If it is listed for $11,000, I'm sure you could get it for a little less. At 12,000 miles the bike is just broke in. I would definitely use YES warranty, tire wear, scratches, etc., as bargaining tools. In my opinion, my ES is so much better than my 2006. And my bike doesn't have the 6th gear or the assist/slipper clutch. My thoughts and experience on the YES warranty. If it cost too much, I personally would choose not to buy it. I didn't buy the warranty on my 2006 and nothing broke until 116K miles when the stator failed in year 6, out of the warranty period. The first extended warranty I ever purchased was on my 2014 ES, it didn't cost too much and the bike had all the electronic stuff, seemed like a good idea. I'm more than halfway into my 5th year and nothing has gone wrong with my bike and I have more than 80K on it. Welcome and good luck. [/QUOTE]
