Not mine. I see signs of Murph on this bike. Sad to see the price, since I have a 2009, but a good deal with low miles. I don't plan on selling mine anytime soon though. Is this anyone's here?

I have been seeing a lot of bikes like that around here lately. I have seen 1500 Goldwings with less than 20,000 miles.

Yeah, I was mainly commenting on the low mileage. I will say though, if I didn't have the C14, and didn't want to spend a lot of money, there are a lot of great options for bikes that could easily be used for long distance riding in comfort.

Here is a good one for you Jim. A 1996 Triumph Trophy with 23,000 miles. $2800. It's even the fastest color.

Or a 2005 Concours, 4700 miles.  :yikes: $4299 https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/d/2005-kawasaki-concours-only/6566254851.html

I had about double that mileage on my C14 in the first two months.

My previous bike was an LT (light truck). Awesome bike on longer trips, not so great on the twisties and a terrible bike to work on. BMW=Bikes Made Weird or Bring More Wallet. It does look good, IMO, especially without the trunk. Had 50kMiles on when I sold it, got bit under $6k.
