Looking for a 2014 ES

[N4RNV1]

OK, I'm looking for 2014 ES preferably used. I'm in no particular hurry and presently riding my GL1800. I've had a Gen 1, Gen II and now looking for a Gen lll. Fly and ride is only limited by how much time I can get off to ride back. New isn't out of the question but it would need to be a great deal. Any leads is appreciated, Someone can go a long way toward getting me back on my favorite ride the FJR. Don't be bashful speak up, I know you're out there! Help a Bro out would ya?

I don't know if this is an ES model, but I stumbled on an ad on Craigslist for a 2014 in the Seattle area. For some reason the editor is not allowing me to paste the link here, but a quick search should take you to the ad so that you can check it out.

A fairly decent deal: 6k miles for $11,600 in Oklahoma.

FYI, this was a smoking deal - 1750 miles, $10,999 for a '14 ES but I called and they already have *two* deposits on the bike, one being a back-up.

I had email exchange with them this weekend, but couldn't call them first thing when they opened. I called an hour after they opened and they already had those two deposits!! I was 3rd in line...ugh

Thanks for the links to CycleTrader. I have been there a couple of weeks ago and the reasonably good deals have been gone for at least a month. I was talking with a couple of the dealers there and they said they have been trying to get the ads taken down for at least a month. Seems CT keeps obsolete ads up for a while... I guess it is a matter of catching a dealer with a recent trade in like the one in IL that sold yesterday.

If you want a deal on an ES, you should buy one in about 6 months.

 

[N4RNV1]

Not opposed to that idea and am willing to wait if that is what it takes to get a good deal. I have talked to 3 dealers with them for sale and they aren't ready to deal to my level yet! That's fine, I have the time and patience to wait until I find one for a good deal. But its not too early to start the process if one comes along I can find first. Sometimes " The early bird gets the worm"

I'll sell you mine.

It's a 2014 ES, has all of the truly required farkles, and merely 6500 accumulated miles so far

Dual Russell Day-long Full leather custom saddles

HeliBars Bridge type Handle Bar Risers

Suzuki Vstrom Handguards

Givi SR trunk rack and color matching Givi V46 Rear Hard Trunk

Electrified Bags Connection City Evo Tank bag, complete with the locking tank ring mount

Garmin zumo 550 GPS on a left bar mount, wired to the tank bag.

Starcom1 intercom with GPS and Radar detector wired audio.

LEDRider LR4 LED Aux lights mounted on WynPro Anti Vibe Brackets

Yamaha FZ1 Mirrors mounted on the above brackets

Yamaha Touring Accessories windshield and also the stock shield

Custom windshield tuning spacers for running the above windshield without excessive head buffeting

SW Motech Sliders that look like they belong on the bike

TechSpec Snake-skin tank protection

I'll even ride the thing down to you in Flatlandistan for the cost of SouthWest airfare.

My firm price is $20,000. A bargain really, at twice the price.

(Just some Friday dog pile humor, I wouldn't part with my bike even at that price. Good luck with your search)

PS - Nice looking pup. We raised Siberian Huskies when I was younger. (assuming that is what yours is, could be a Malamute) They are some pretty great animals.

Sounds just about like my '07 when I sold it to my buddy and just a little less than how Ill be set up when the next one is ready to take me out of LA. (LowerAlabammer) for the Yankees in the crowd. The GL is as I like it for when the wife comes along but for the really Long Solo's I need another Feejer.

PS: I have Schnauzers

New 2014 ES

 

[N4RNV1]

Thanks but that one is a A model there also is one in Killeen and they have it at an Auto Auction and one in Stillwater with 6K on the clock for $11.9K.

Thanks to all that replied and offered leads, the hunt for the new ride is over. I pick up my new (used) 2014 ES on Monday the 22nt. Ridiculously low miles under 2000 and under $11K. Let the Farkeling begin!
