Hello

I've had a sv650 and a tl1000 and I'm looking for a new bike. Just wondering if y'all think this is a good deal.

Than you

Lou

Yea that looks like a fair price, there are cheaper bikes if you look around, but that bike appears to be unmolested. Also the decent amount of mileage shows it was actually ridden instead of rotting in a shed for 5 years.

As much as I would like a new bike. None available meet my expectations within my price point.
When I look at bikes that are equivalent to, or better than a Uly on the spec sheet; I get sticker shock.

In other words, it's hard to quit a Ulysses. Even for a superior bike. A superior that gets worse fuel economy, requires more maintenance, more often, at greater expense.
The sub 10k bikes are a non starter because... well you get what you pay for. Cheap under performing suspension & inferior small bits.

Same here Teeps. Strange times indeed.

Lou, that looks like a real nice find. I paid twice that for my Buell and I am still very happy with it.

I ended up getting it for 4650....now I'm looking for a new exhaust. I've been trying to get a hold of someone at special ops with no luck tried email and cell for 3 days with no answer....does anyone know if he is still making the exhaust
