You're about to spend a handful of $ that you had to bust your hump for. Take your time. Shop around. There are other dealers with other C14s that are more than willing to sell you a bike. Don't short change yourself by rushing in to things.

I would probably pass on the one you are currently considering.

Just my .02

My bike does none of that. Run away.

Way ahead of you there. Stopped by another dealer. Has a nice looking Concours three years newer with about 1.4k less miles. His out the door price is only $100 more than the one I'm looking at even though his tag price is $1,000 more. Might just dish out the extra money per month and get a new 2015 C14 for $12,700.

Mine neither.  No clicking, no windshield noises, no ticking

Just a thought from someone who looked at a 2014 new old stock against a 2011 with 20 k miles .


The delta between the new one without add ons ( cages front/back,risers , rear sets , laam seat , throttle master etc ) and a the older one ( warranty STILL to 2021) was not,sufficient to justify the purchase of the new  vice the older well farkled.

When the ECU gets back from Steve on Monday it will be even better.

You WILL find the right ride for you !

Is that an out the door price?  That would be awesome.   Doesn't even sound terrible for a baseline price.  My 2012 in January of 2013 was $12k, $13,370 OTD, I was very happy  with that.

That's a lot of stuff but at the same time, 20k is a fair amount of miles, not close to new. I have 36k on mine and it's still like new, so I'm not saying it's worn out at all.  I AM saying there is something to be said about buying NEW and knowing how well it's been taken care of.  As far as cars, I would NEVER buy new.  I don't feel that way about bikes and honestly, I am not even sure if that makes sense?   I just LOVE my bikes and cars are just something I use.

  Good advise.  The 2010 you mentioned sounds iffy for sure.  The newer one sounds like a great deal.  Good luck.
