Redbird!!
Please see UPDATE (March 21) in thread below. Apologies for multiple updates ... bike is still available, ready to ride. Updated with pics below. Will add more when I go today to the storage place. Added links and edits made to description.
I am first owner. Bike has less than 4K miles! Yes, the motor is barely broken-in and it purrs the same as new! Not much of significance has changed since 2006. Bike is all stock - no structural mods. Send me PM with any questions or post here.
The bike has very low miles of mostly hi-way travel, never raced. Mostly garage kept, now in storage place. Now in Spring, it's under full cover in the drive way.
Priced to sell $8,500 OBO, Central NJ (~45 mins South West of NYC). Can ship to CONUS at cost purchaser's expense. Payment accepted via Paypal (as Gift only) or you can pay using personal check and wait to clear. Absolutely no joy rides. Show me tangible proof you can handle a powerful bike such as this and I will consider letting you ride it. If you come riding on a large bike, that's proof enough.
As you know this a long distance tourer and a sportbike for the twisties, but I am constantly traveling on my consulting job (airports suck!) and not finding much time to ride
I have 2 other bikes, Yamaha FZ1 and BMW R1150R ... of course, love all my bikes and sad to see this one go, but this is the least ridden of the 3 bikes.
Below is the list of farkles. If I missed something, I will add later. I have added links to parts/farkles with costs where I have a record.
Please make a reasonable offer. If you low-ball, I will simply ignore!
*Free* to purchaser: Garmin 2710 GPS with Sunshade, direct wired with audio hook-up (has map update v8, but the version is old and needs update)
(*) Items below are also included in purchase price (bike purchaser gets first choice to include or exclude). Will consider selling them separately - feel free to make an offer.
* PCA heavy duty black powder coated Givi rack (purchased for $100 from forum member, not installed)
* Givi Trunk / top-case (Black, with extra keys); easily takes in a full face helmet + some space left over (currently, installed on FZ1)

* Audiovox CCS-100 Cruise Control (NIB, not installed)
* Hella FF50 (NIB, not installed)

First maintenance service done at dealer, rest of maintenance is done by myself - regular oil change, lube, cleaning, etc., battery tender used during winter. Oil - Rotella T; Filters - Yamaha, Purolator; Yamalube. I will dig up receipts for the maintenance and farkles.
Full disclosure: bike had an unattended tip-over in my driveway during a wind storm - me the dummy left it on side stand
The fall was not hard (partly fell on grass), so no structural damage. Single protruding edge of the right fairing was dinged, scuffs on right side hard side case and edge of mirror cover (no damage to mirror). Using factory matched color (Color-Rite), I have touched up the scuffs and they are not noticeable unless you look very closely.
