They want a hefty
$1100 for it, as far as I know it runs, it still has a valid inspection on it. Im trying to get more info out of the guy, I dont see any nasty gas varnish all over the trans so maybe its all in good working condition. I might take a trip next week to look at it, money is tight so Im in no rush yet!

Looks pretty good for the money.
I'd take a test ride and be sure to hammer on 1st and second to check for the gear issue. When I bought Thunderstruck I had read on here about the problem but did not diagnose it becuase I went to easy on her for the test ride. Only took a month or less to find it though.
BTW, I spent very slightly less than that for Thunderstruck. My first post on here has pictures of how she came home. I'm convinced I got a pretty god deal on it, and I am very pesimistic about such things.

Well...I showed the g/f and she's a real buzz killer lol. You guys have probably already heard it all, but not me, not yet at least haha. I got the "Please tell me your not going to be one of those guys that keeps bringing home scrap bikes to fix your entire life." SCRAP! I said, its practically band new with only 6K miles.
My ears couldnt believe what they just heard, scrap, no such thing I said as a scrap xs11... Well, she was wondering why I need 3 bikes. Im currently working on that answer.

THAT trap will slowly close and you won't be able to even wiggle.
Ask her why she needs SO many shoes.

Tell her that your worried one day she will get smart enough to realize you do not deserve her and take half your stuff with her, you need to have one good motorcycle when that happens because loosing her would devestate you so badly, so your preparing to split them with her.
