I have been here before and am very close to being ready to purchase... Getting this bike for my time in grad school and will have the cash in hand January 5.... looking to purchase right away and fast.  Ideally needs to be an bike in the southeast as time is an issue with classes starting back.  Just trying to start eyeing what is on Cycletrader right now as well as what pops up this month.  Would prefer to purchase from a private seller here.  Ideally, want a 2010-11, under 25K, and the price has to be right.  Will consider a super clean, low mileage '08-'09, but the price has to be super good.  I really need the traction control as it will be my only transportation, but will consider the ABS model if its a deal and someone just has to sell it quick.

Hahahaha. That's the holy grail when buying a used vehicle. What's a "super good" price for you? It is very unlikely you will find all that together!

Well, I've seen 2012 go for $7500 and often see 2011 for 6900... so asking anything over 6k for an 08-09 is just not gonna happen for me... not unless it's just amazing and barely used.

Just like my truck... when I get the bike, the truck is going for sale immediately and pricing it to sell, at the bottom of the market value so it sells quick.

I saw an 09 go for $20k yesterday... 

Let us know what you find...see ebay and CL for listings.

I've got a 2012 in near perfect condition with about 13,000 miles and some nice mods. Gimme a call this afternoon and we can discuss. 850/216-2549.

Just remember about used bikes..older ones sitting at a dealer (even with low miles) probably have not had a blessed thing done to them.  Everything is suspect.  One from a member, there's at least a chance normal maintenance has been done.  I don't think I'd go more than a 2014 model back from a dealer...IMHO.

How much?

I'd rather not negotiate on a public forum, why don't you call me and we can discuss?
