Welcome to CBRF MagnumRT!

KBB values at $1,360. That value assumes excellent condition w/ avg mileage, orig equipment, in good running order. The seller is obviously adding to that price for the fairing conversion (be sure to inspect for secure mounting). You really need to know the maintenance history of the bike...other than what just the guy says. Does he have records? If you are not adept at inspecting motorcycles, take it to Honda service for a "pre-purchase inspection". You'll pay for it (about $85) but it will benefit the seller too. He'll get a free inspection & you'll find out what the bike's needs are - if any. You'll find out if the bike is good to go - in well maintained condition or not. Then, you can make a more informed decision as whether you want to buy it.

At $1,900, even w/ having both sets of fairings, that pricing is on the high side. However, it is a plus that he has (he says) all the orig parts. You could keep them for spares or resell them to recoup purchase cost or put the bike back to stock & sell the conversion fairings. What it really boils down to is whether or not you want the bike & what you're willing to pay.

Good luck.
