About a year ago I had a moment of silliness and sold my 2000 Gen 1. Been regretting it ever since. Had a V-Max last summer and it never did anything for me. Last week while looking in the local classifieds on line I came across a black 07 with 8900KM (5000miles) on it. The bike is all stock and still has the original rubber. The bike is pristine condition. We are in the process of selling our house and moving to a bigger one at the end of May so I had everything tied up in the move and sale. The guy selling the bike agreed to hold it for me with a small deposit as he knew how much I wanted the bike. Now I just have to wait till after May 30 when the cash is freed up to get. Unfortunately I don't have a pic but you will just have to believe me. Gonna be a long month.
