What's with all the low mileage Connie's. I was doing a quick scan of eBay and Craig's list looking for used farkles and there are dozens of 2008's and later bikes with 8K miles or less!
............Seems like a huge waste of money on a "mistaken" purchase.
what you are seeing is exactly that, the result of people who just "had to have" the super-tourer with the big image, when it was introduced.
Many of these purchasers did not fit the bike physically, or mentally, but they had cash, and bought it thinking they could make it fit....to a sad realization that they could not.
Many installed lowering kits, bar replacements/adjustments, farkles out the butt, in an attempt to make it fit them, or their style, with great expectations, and realized it just wasn't gonna happen.....but they did get to brag about having "the baddest" bike around for a year or two before quietly placing it up for sale....
people today have a slight edge, and can read all the diatribe that has now been placed in print, and can make a better decision when looking for a ride, at least if they read all the different opinions of this bike for the last 4 years, they had more to go on than those buying the bike "cold" when it was introduced.
