Finally Took the Leap! "New" Bike!

OK Got a great deal on a 2008 Nomad with 20K miles for cheap!

What to do with my beloved "Black Beauty?" with 100K miles but still runs like a scalded dog!

He will, but not everyone can afford a new or low mileage bike, it may be just the right bike for someone who wants to ride but doesn't have a lot of cash. The bike should still have plenty of miles left on it and for someone who rides just on weekends or around town, they could still get a few years out of it.

I agree 100% All I'm sayin is with 100,000 miles on it he will not get a lot of money out of it.
I had 88,000 miles on my 07 and sold it for $3,500 but I didn't figure it owed me anything so what ever I got for it was fine with me.

THank you! so far so good, love my new ride!
Will take some time to get use to it.
It just seems to ride "different" than 1500

AS for pricing 1500, I am thinking I will start it out at $3800 OBO
