    Wow, it looks like a great find. Did you get the rear seat cowl? Having 3 bikes is not a problem at all. I've got 4, but like you, I am almost out of room. Congratulations.

    Get's expensive having three, but having said that (I've had as many as 9, now just 3) I find the best part of three bikes is this. Almost any bike I've owned, that I've ridden steadily for a good while, at some point I'll feel something or hear something that makes it seem that something may be going wrong. When that happens now I simply switch bikes until that one starts to worry me. It must all be in my head, because when I jump back on the 1st one, the issue (if there was one) is gone. At least for awhile. So, peace of mind. All mine are different enough that its an adjustment to switch for sure. I mean my Guzzi is 1 up 3 down.......that takes some getting used to, going either way!

    If you're willing to offer it up, then I'd love to know what you paid for it. And no, I don't think we'll hate you for it. Everyone loves to pick up a nice bike as cheap as they can. I'd also love to know how many miles are on it. For the condition of the bike, I'm guessing that they are pretty low.

    $800!!!! I don't know if I'm happy for you, or sad for myself. Seriously, I'm envious. It took a while for the '07 to grow on me, but I really like it now. Personally, though, I've been thinking a 4th Gen might be more my style. I like carburetors and unlinked brakes. Great find!

    Whoever sold that to you obviously has no clue as to what it is worth. We all love getting a great deal on a bike. Congratulations.
