Default Good Deal or Not........?

Im new to riding and I'm looking into buying an F4i. The bike is a 2001 and it has 4700 miles on it. The bike is flawless and pretty much brand new. I settled on a price with the seller at $3200 is this a good deal or is it too much money for the bike? I honestly have no idea, any help would be appreciated.

i paid around that for my 05, 3900 miles also w/ an extra exhaust, misc parts mirrors levers etc and a helmet and jacket. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Low mileage is good. Does the owner have any maintenance records?

Where in the world are you?
Is that the going rate for similar bikes in your area?
Sounds like a fair price to me....

I'm in MA, the bike is brand new, not a scratch on it the oil was last changed at 2800k and he is having it tuned up now so everything is good for when he gives it to me. The bike Kelly blue books for 2400 on excellent condition, that's why I didn't know if I'm paying too much

KBB has the values low. Street value is a different animal...Shop around. What else is out there, in that condition, for less than $3200?

For 3200 there really isn't anything but I found a 2004 RR with 15k miles for 3700

Sounds like you wont do much better...You will love the F4i. It will be a great bike to learn on and enjoy for years to come. It's a good all around machine that you can comfortably cruise or take to the track.
