It really does look better in person. In the pics it just looks black and white but its a charcoal grey and white has a pearl to it. Also, theres a blue and gold pinstripe to break it up that is hard to see in the pictures also. Should look good shined up. Miles seem high and I'm still a little nervous about it but hopefully it works out.

Congrats! Enjoy it. And good on you for sticking to your budget and not overextending - sure way to ruin "the ride" when you're stressing about $$$. Ride safe.

Hate to rain on your parade, but that bike is WAY overpriced for the year & mileage. 15 large for an almost 10 YO bike with the OLD FRAME is just wrong. Add on BS dealer fees & you'ld be MUCH better off a few bucks more a month for new one.
As I always say...never EVER buy used from a dealer...you get screwed big time. Look for a private sale locally; you could prolly save 4 or 5 grand on the same bike. Or, buy new & negotiate a better deal.
