i am seeing these bikes in seemingly great condition on marketplace for well under 10 - But, one thing to keep in mind is that this is an '07 (no TP heads) And it's been hardwired so I hope he gets the 10 he's asking for it but with almost no interest in bikes at all from anyone under 40 and people interested in bikes either dying of old age or unable to ride due to old age, well you get the idea.
I for one would love to be on this bike but I have several obstacles, other than $ holding me back:
- I'm in Western PA and this is not a safe place to ride (driving style, road condition etc) compared to when I was in DC
- I need the space in the garage for my workshop since I'm trying to bring the manufacturing of my products from Pakistan to the US (in other words me makingthem) and I'd want a bike like this garaged.
- I've always disliked the stock primarys the BDM used after '04, I much prefer the bubble style over the punched in hole style and if I'm going to change it out I'd want to go belt-drive but that's another expense.
- I'd have to spend another $1k to either wrap it or paint it w an American flag theme. I see these on the older BDMs but for some reason on the K-9's I don't think I've ever seen a flag-style paint job
- I've always wanted to do a cross country ride, already moving to PA somewhat negates than vs DC but for this I'd basically be riding back up from Texas,anyway just thinking about it on the keyboard
