I get mixed feelings about this listing:

The lister has perfect feedback but only 5 miles??? Seems to good to be true. I've always had hankering for a Blackbird but never really came across any real low mileage ones. I have this thing for buying only new or real close to new as Im paranoid about inheriting someone elses mistakes. I know im at the low end of the age demographic for Blackbirds (31) but I think it'd make a fine addition to my garage. I have a new '07 1000rr and I think the bird would be nice for long trips and when my Dad comes to visit. He loves motorcycles but hasnt found one that has got his heart racing enough to take the plunge and buy one. He's moved past bikes with race ergos and not too enthusiastic about a gold wing. I think this would be perfect for him. I could use my savings to get this, or even better, get HIM to buy it and store it at my place..free of charge of course :P

Any thoughts or suggestions? On the bike in this listing (I'm curious about what a good offer would be) or getting another in the future?

 

IMHO, $9500 is top dollar for a damaged 2003. I bought mine in the spring for a lot less, but it has 25,000 km (15.500 miles).

Still a great bike, and they don't make anything any better.........yet............
