Is this a good deal?

[Lerxst1]

A friend has a 2005 Fz6 for sale with only 7k miles.
$4800 with brand new tires on it. I haven't seen the bike in person yet but from the pics it doesn't look like it has any damage.

Does this sound like a good deal?

Is there anything that was a great improvement on the later years that would worth having and passing this bike up?

I had the same type of situation only the 05 I was looking at had 3800 miles for $4800. I personally thought that was a little high and offered $4000 (no dice).
I opted to get a brand new 07 out of the crate for $700 more.

Hope this helps a bit. Locations can vary.

Personally, I think it's a bit high. There has been a major change as far as the design and features between the '06 and '07's. Since you are looking at an '05, it would be the same as the '06. $4000 is more realistic.

Here's a link on how much we all paid for our bikes. New and used.

If you can find an '07, you probably can get a killer deal like the other member. Also, '08's should be going down soon when the '09's starts hitting the floor.
