I know that I've been planning to go to NC for a deal on an '08 OB, but if I can find something around here in Houston, then it only makes sense to try and do it here. The deal I found is this...a local dealer just took an '08 orange and black in on trade..the bike appears to have been gently low-sided on the right side. There are no cracks on the fairing, just road rash. The fairing also doesn't seem to have been pushed into the engine case and the brake lever is undamaged except for a scrape.
Also, the after market exhaust can on the right has a slight dent in it at the end. On the left side, the bike was apparently the victim of a side stand drop as the clutch lever end is snapped off while fairing damage is minimal and appears to coincide with that type of drop.
Finally, the bike has 10800 miles on it. It starts right up and sounds good. I have neither rode it yet, nor talked to the previous onwer, but have made my intentions known regarding both.
The dealer says that he has to put a new back tire on it...What's a good price on something like this? I'm thinking something around $8000 as is.
Maybe, I should look elsewhere and leave this deal alone. Opinions please.
