This bike has been regularly serviced with no accidents. never been laid down. Only cosmetic issues are a small scratch on the front fender from a rock and a green mark on the seat. I currently owe 4200 still on the loan. and cannot afford to keep paying what I'm paying per month. KBB lists this bike at $4500 with 9400 miles. This bike only has 5250 miles on it. This is a wonderful bike. and just needs somebody who will be able to afford having it. At 600cc this bike is not too powerful for a beginner (It was my first bike as well). and would be good for someone just starting out. If you would like any more information. feel free to contact me.
