nice looking bike really like the color of it.

I must say, that it does look good! a 2006 with only 2,200 kms! Thanks for all the positives! I got it from a local dealer at a steeeeeeeeeeeeeal! $4,500(canadian) all in. One minor scratch behind the rear seat, and some small scuffs on the tank from the cables rubbing(fixed right away with zap-straps) and some small scuffs on the front fender. Just rode her home last night, and woke up this morning at 7am to give her a good clean for riding today.

Good grief, 2200 kms on an 06. Not even broke in yet. Nice find and the $ aren't bad for almost new. Happy riding and congrats to you and your new bud.

Moderns motorcycling's going bankrupt (so I heard).

as well...http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/m ... 13424.html the same dealer I got mine from dropped the pricde 1,000 bucks to get rid of it.

Not so, Modern is not going bankrupt. Modern Murray is just closing the doors and getting out of the business. He has a few other interests to keep him busy and out of trouble.

Thanks A LOT oneyunguy! I was trying to hold out 'til next spring to get a 650 and you come along and dangle that Craigslist ad in my face! :drool:
BTW, it's listed as having 2600 'miles'. Is he selling American imports?

Yeah, looking at Craiglist, I'm seeing the end-of-season rush starting to build. :cool:

oneyunguy · 12-21-2010, 10:26 PM

Sorry for the long overdue reply.

He was selling two of the same bikes. He does go to the states to get the deals. He usually deals with dirt bikes but thought he'd try these road bikes. My ride was a foreclosure. All told, 4,500.00. The other bike sat and sat, and the last ad i saw was for listed at 3,000.00.

oneyunguy · 12-21-2010, 10:27 PM

The ad was also wrong, he put the wrong mileage, it was actually 1,200 miles. Barely riden.
