Great for on-road adventures (and maybe a little soft-roading with different tires). If admin feels it doesn't belong here, then delete.
Location: Richmond, Virginia
Price: $3900 (bike only) or $4300 (all luggage and accessories)
Mileage: 33,000 miles
Well-maintained and NEEDS NOTHING. It is great in the curves, great on the highway, great around town, and with different tires is even decent on dirt and gravel. Well maintained and comfortable enough to take anywhere the road takes you. It is a non-ABS model for simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance. There are some age-appropriate dings and scrapes including a small ding on the gas tank. With all extras, the bike is perfect for long range travel on twisty roads.
I just don't have the time to get out and ride, need the garage space and would rather someone enjoy it rather than have it sit and collect dust. It is truly ready to go; you can fly into RIC and ride home.
Bike features/upgrades (all included at lower price):
For the higher price, I will include the following touring items:
