Does this bike and offer sound at all attractive?
Was the '08 model any good?
Is there anything I should know about it?
The only other alternative is to sell the bike private for �4k and find a newer used low mileage model with a few extras on it for �4.5 to �5k-ish.
These are the reasons I joined this site so please be honest.
