First post!
I'm currently looking at two bikes on craigslist, both an 08 FZ6 (one blue, one black).
Blue bike A:
13k miles (used solely for commuting on the highway)
Oil changed himself every 2k miles
New tires installed on Saturday (Continental Sport-Touring)
Front brakes changed at 10k, rear brakes never changed (he's including brake pads)
Bled brake fluid 1k miles ago
Including helmet, jacket, and gloves (bought for total of $450) and new oil
He will not go lower than 5k on price, even when I offered $4500. I rode this bike tonight and looks and runs great.
Black bike B:
Don't know as much about this bike
Just under 6k miles
2nd owner (bought at 5k miles) selling to move to college
Rode it for commute, never past 80
Original owner dropped it (low speed) with the only damage (I'm told) being some scratches on the side (see here)
He's willing to let it go for $3600, but I might be able to get him to lower it some more.
What do you think? For the difference in price, I can buy my own new gear and still come out ahead. Though I do prefer the blue color...
