It was my understanding that 2002 models were silver only, and '03's were black only. Can anyone shed light on this? I'm looking at a silver bike advertised as an '03, totally stock asking $7800 with 26,000 km and only 1 hour away. The competition is a 2002 in with 36,000 km, for $5500, but has undertail, integrated signals and a D&D pipe. It's 1000 km away. I would pay cash either way.

What would YOU do?

Frankly if I were you, I'll get the '03 which cost $7800 (26 000km). Basically, you have a newer and a less travelled/less wearbike. ALthough you may be entice with all the accessories, it's quite a challenge to transport from 1000km away.

The Canadian XX's Had some different colors on some of the model years.

All 2002 U.S. XX models only came in silver. Have you checked with the seller on weather he had it painted?

I've seen photos, it looks as stock as any other new silver XX. I went into the city today to look and discovered the guy I was dealing with is NOT the actual owner, who again slipped out of town for 10 days without notifying the sales rep, who doesn't have a key for the garage the bike is in..blah blah,....
After telling me he'd email before Tuesday with a time, call at a certain # (was not there......)and a 3 hour round trip for nothing, he can keep it. I'd tell him where to keep it , too, but the new owner would have to wash it carefully........

Sorry to hear.

People need to get a clue.


The world is never short of asshats.

AND on my next tour of the internet, I spied a 2003 XX with slightly less km for less $. I have a mesage in to the salesman asking for a hold..still a trip, but I have the week off anyway...

and I bought it............................
