Greetings from New Jersey - Seeking Your Input
Greetings soon-to-be-friends! I am a new member here from Fair Haven, NJ - by the Jersey shore. I currently own two suzuki's - an M50 Boulevard & v-strom 650, and I'm looking to sell my M50 (800cc's) for a Nomad.
I am very close to making a purchase on a Nomad - so i seek your wisdom, counsel, and opinions on what you think would be the better bike for price/year/mileage. Here are my options (as of now). 2007 black, 18k miles- tourpack, valkerie slip ons, warranty till jan 2012, new avon cobra tires synth oil- $7000 Very good cond. (pretty far away- 2+ hrs away, more for public transport) 2005 black/silver- 10k miles- kury grips, stock. $7000 Good cond. 2001 burgandy/silver FI model- 14k miles- cobra slashcuts, newer tires & battery, amsoil synth oil used- $4700 Good cond (horn doesn't work, some mild pitting & brake, coolant fluids need change). Also the owner claims this has the 5 gallon tank too. Is that possible??? Whatdya think? Any, all opinions would be appreciated. I will keep you posted, and start posting upon ownership. Thanks!! PS- Yes, I am a United Methodist pastor.

Welcome from upstate South Carolina. I'd say go for the '07. It sounds like its got more goodies, and the warranty for another 18 or 19 months can't hurt either, not that I think you'll need it.

Welcome to the board. As much as I like my 01, it is getting on in age. If you have the extra cash, I'd go with the newer version. Just my .02 cents worth. :)

Welcome from Colorado! Sounds to me like any one of the three could be a good deal.

Welcome to the Nomad Nation from the Grand Canyon State! I'd jump on the '07 if I already didn't have one myself.

Welcome Pastor from the Deep South. I'm kinda partial to the '07 because I happen to own one. In all honesty, all three are good deals but I'd spring for the newer one with the extended warranty.
