[QUOTE="Gerry.GEG, post: 961208, member: 14686"] I'd have to agree with those here that say shy away from something with this many miles on it. Not many bikes go 200K without problems. You could buy this for $2500 and drive it a hundred miles with the engine just blowing up. You never know, then you've got a '03 that you need to part out. Just my opinion but that's a lot of miles without knowing how someone or many owners took care of it. I'd spend double on an '05 with 60K or so and be on my way :) They're out there, you may have to fly/drive but many have done that and what a fun way to get a great bike. If you buy one from an enthusiast here on the forum you pretty much know you're getting something worth the money. [/QUOTE]
