I bought this bike brand new two years ago to learn on. Great starter bike, great commuter bike. I have serviced it at the dealership every 3,000 miles starting at 1,000 till 13,000. At 16,000 I changed the oil myself to synthetic and rear brakes. Just recently @ 19,000 miles...
Another oil change as I have been for every 3k miles.
New battery
New chain
Near new rear brakes (changed at 16,000 miles)
A new rear tire at 13,000 from the dealership.
Also has aftermarket front mirrors, and aftermarket front blinkers.
The bad: Two minor cosmetic issues, seen in the pics below. Being carbureted, it takes a while to warm up. Choke takes a few minutes for it to warm up before it's ready. Until it's fully warm, you'll want to keep choke on a little so it doesn't cut off at stops. Once it's fully warm, the idle will be a little high (3k), but can be adjusted.

^this was caused by trailering the bike too closely next to another.

^this happened because people want to sit on every bike they pass on the parking lot. I didn't see this until a few days after it happened as I didn't do it.
So I am asking $2500 OBO for this super fun bike. It runs on regular unleaded! It's also very comfortable compared to true sport bikes as you sit more up-right on this than bent over the tank. I'd also recommend this bike for taking the road test with as slow maneuverability is very easy. Send me a PM if you are interested.
