***SOLD SOLD SOLD ***

Finally got the updated title back from the state .. so the sale is back on! And with a lower price ... $4250!

I manage without a centerstand. In the garage I use spools and a lift; total cost is less than most centerstands. When touring I use a quickstand that folds down to almost nothing. So yes, slightly more inconvenient, but not a dealmaker by any means. Yes, so I make sure to stop when I get to 500

I''ve got a 2011 N1K and there is some vibration at 7k but that's 105 mph in 6th and I don't spend a lot of time there. In my opinion the engine is smoother than the FJR; but sensitivity to vibrations can be a very personal thing.

Soon I'll be selling my 2006 w/ABS, 27k on the motor (from a 2007). The rest of the bike has 98k on it. I'm asking $4500, I think this is a better deal than the $4900 2003, despite the distance from you. If you're really looking to save some $$$ you should negotiate a much lower price on that...

Happy to see that it is paved now. About ten years ago it wasn't; I spent 20 miles on the VFR in deep pea gravel going up and down the grades and curves and it sucked royal @ss.

These are the things we complain about: 1. Too heavy. But it's not a real problem for most, and sort of comes with all the other benefits. 2. Some years have lurchy throttles. Fixed with a Power Commander. 3. Older years put off lots of heat onto your legs. 4. Helmet buffetting. Experiment...

True, in general it isn't limited to Harley riders. But I have only experienced it with three Harley's and it is the sudden presence of open exhaust noise past my window that startles me more than anything else.

Thanks for the reminder ... need to go for a run today to keep everything working well.

You can say that again. But I will admit to really liking filtering to the front at stoplights. As a car-driver in California, I'm on the lookout for bikes lane sharing, yet it always startles me when I'm going 70mph on I-80 in medium traffic and a loud-ass harley roars inches past my door.

Now he's eligible for the GI Bill, right? That will create more life-long value than the 'vette.

You've got to be more specific. In Wisconsin, it's not a town if it doesn't have at least two bars and one is open. Half the state (not population) is north of Madison ... how far north do you think you were? Half the population is German (half of the remaining half is Scandinavian).

There is about 100k on the Sargent seat I put on my VFR and it has not degraded. Granted, that was in 2000 ... in 14 years I suppose they could have changed from using the "atomic superfoam" or whatever. While there's nothing wrong with the foam, I'm definitely squirming on that seat after...

Not for Georgians they aren't ;-) They're in Alabama, so it's sort of mid-south-easty.
