IMO you only paid too much if you are going to get rid of it soon. Take care of it, make it your own and keep it for a few years. You will then be happy. Good luck with it.

There is a lot to be said for buying from someone you know and knowing the history of the bike. I would gladly pay the small amout more you paid to have that. If you bought from someone else you might have had to put a lot more than that into it to make it right. You did good. Just enjoy it and be very happy you got a good ride.
A good ride is much more importaint than a good deal anyday. Congratulations on a smokin' hot ride.
