Low mileage 08 nomad
Just saw a Craigslist ad for a 1 owner 2008 nomad with 1542 miles on it. With Mustang seats & other extras. He is asking $7250 doubt he gets it

He may not get it, but it sounds like a good deal none the less.

I didn't think the 2005-2008 nomads had any differences besides paint. I'm curious, whats different?

A buddy bought an 06 Nomad about a month back from a shop, it only had 1500 miles on it. I told him that he should have the dealer change the tires because they we're the OEM and they were 8 years old. The dealer wouldn't do it but he bought the bike anyway. I told him probably all the fluids have not been changed since new either and he should do that NOW. . Sometimes a low mileage bike isn't as great as a bike with some miles on it. I paid $6000 for my 07 with 6700 miles on it when I bought it from the original owner about 3 months back. I changed the tires, spark plugs, checked the air filter and changed all the fluids. Now I know that has all been done I feel better.

I am not 100% sure, but early year bikes tend to get some better stuff which tends to degrade over time with Ma kawi. I think later Nomad got lesser grade floor boards and little things like that changed. Logo badges went from being quite nice to being sort of bland.

I still think there is chrome bottom covers and black painted on fold up floor boards. Maybe some one did something and went to paint. I did. My Nacell is powder coated flat black because I hated the glare, it still appears to be OEM

The chrome cover on mine is now flat black as well. The glare when the sun was overhead really hurt my eyes.

Stock ones on 05-08 are chrome. 09 1700's are black. I painted the passenger board covers, the air cleaner housings, and the chrome fillers between the bags and fender. I did that because I vinyl wrapped the tank bezel to cut out the glare and liked the lack of chrome, just like quite a few others seem to.

You are absolutely right. Riding on 8 year old tires is a good way to get hurt.

Mac, I would bet my 08 and your 06 sitting side by side are the same bike with different paint

I am looking at a 2008 17 K miles for 7 grand OBO
It needs a litlle TLC, needs tires, some cosmetic touch up etc I would not pay more than 5 grand for this bike.

Mine needed nothing I knew of and I think 7200 was a good deal but to each their own. The only person I have to make happy when buying a bike is me.
