An 07 with just a 157 on the ticker?
Why do people buy them and not ride them.
My 06 has 17,000+ and counting.
I think it is just getting broke in!!

I have a good guess.

My wife was with me when I was scheduling a test ride on a couple of bikes but she wasn't with me when I pulled the trigger and bought it.

The sales guy actually asked me "This is cool with your wife right?".

He sized her up pretty well... She can be far meaner than her size would suggest...

Seriously. He explained there are more than a few 'not-really-used' pre-owned bikes sitting on the floor that are the result of such a purchase. And yes, it was cool with my wife.

Congrats!

If you are married, "It's cool with your wife right?"
