| Hi,
I have picked up a nice 2008 Silver Wing that has exactly 9200 miles. It is in almost mint condition. It has a couple of minor blemishes when it was shipped from Florida to Illinois. Nothing really serious. I have paid exactly $3000 for it and I was wondering if that is a decent deal.
Thanks for you input. |

| Excellent deal! In my country (Argentina) a scooter like that would cost around USD 10,000 I have a 2007 and I have never seen any other Silver Wing in Buenos Aires. All the other riders ask me when I am stopped at any traffic light "Nice bike! which model is it?" Here, we have some Kymco Xciting 500, Yamaha T-Max, and not much more. All the rest are 125cc/250cc

| That sounds like a good deal to me too. A good deal is when the seller and the buyer are both happy with the deal. |

| I have an 08 SWing which I bought from my sister in FL last year. It had 18,160 miles on it when I bought it and now had 21,410. I paid $1230 to pay off her loan and gave her $500 to boot. Most of the miles I put on it was last summer after I got it running again. It had sat under a tarp for 2 years and hadn't run. Now with riding season starting back up I'm ready to go once again for the two or three weeks we have here in MN to ride before it gets cold again. This is her sitting in my garage this past winter patiently waiting for warm weather. |

| Here are some more pictures of the Burgman and the Silver Wing from behind. As you can see, there is no room left in the garage. I am seriously thinking about selling the Burgman 400 because the vibrations at low speed are too annoying and I can't get over that. The problem is that my wife likes the Burgman a lot and wants it to stay. |
