Why: Low miles, 1-owner, nice!
Where: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Price: $5500
Spring is in the air here in the upper Midwest, and the bike classifieds are alive. I've featured a few 800s lately, but when an optioned-out, 8300-mile, one-owner 6th-gen pops up, I think it deserves a mention.
This example shows beautifully in its Sword Silver Metallic and features two hard-to-find factory options — color-matched saddlebags and ABS. The rear fender has been removed and there's a couple of garage scuffs to show her age, but otherwise original condition. I spoke with seller Matt, and he shared that when he purchased the bike in 2010 as a left-over, there was also an unsold '07 Anniversary Edition on the floor; "I took a long time to make up my mind which one to buy and there are still days I wish I would have went the other way, that paint scheme was truly classic. But, the grey has been an understated beauty and fit my personality a lot better anyway! They offered me the same deal on either one...about $9500."
One-owner, low miles, pampered, never down, clear title, "runs like new" and a fair price. What's not to like?
