One of my friends in the local club is selling his F700GS. I am being offered this bike first, before anyone else, and I will take it for a test ride on the first nice day and compare it to my VStrom. Both of us are short, and while I have not yet tried the bike, I might be able to flat foot it (a big plus in my book). I do wonder, however, about the resale value of this bike in maybe 5 years. I like most all of his additions to the bare bike, and know for a fact that the bike has not seen much off road use. I do have to admit, however, I would be hard pressed to buy some of these high priced accessories, and would make do with cheaper brands.
The bike looks new, and has 9916 miles on the odo. He maintains his bikes well and as you can see below, spares no expense.
I tend to be wary about buying from friends. That said, I don't have a problem making him a counter offer and leaving it at that. He is asking $9,000.
