I'm considering a "new" 2009 AE at Brother's Powersports in Bremerton, WA. (I sold my 2008 and have been kicking myself ever since.) While it makes simple sense to purchase an A or an ES and be done with it, I thought I'd ask anyway.
First, the dealer is selling this 2009 as new, with 1500 miles. (They want $10,000 for it.) What I'm wondering is what's the condition of the this bike since I assume it's been sitting around for so long? How does that affect gaskets and such?
Second, I've never owned an AE. Since there's no clutch, how do you create the "friction zone" for low speed maneuvering? Are there other hassles or benefits of the AE?
Thanks for the help.
