I'm jealous.... I sold my supercharged '04 Z06 about 5 years ago, and miss it more than I would have guessed... 
I will ad a caveat to my comments..... IMHO... there is a big difference, in terms of reliability, between an engine/vehicle that comes with a production supercharger and one that was never produced with a supercharger, and has had one added as an aftermarket set up.
Both can be spectacularly wonderful... and both can go "boom" rather quickly...
However the production supercharged vehicle has had the power considered by the engineers in its design.... I believe that gives any production supercharged vehicle a head start on reliability...
I have looked hard and long at a couple production supercharged corvettes, I suspect someday I will own another one... they are a TON of fun...!
Good luck in your bike search, while it's a seller's market, there are still some really great bikes out there with realistic owners.... may take time, but you'll find one..

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for selling my 15 Custom Heritage last September. Should never have sold it and now I'm looking for a replacement Harley. Even though I'm without a bike I still have 3 really cools cars to screw around in. Thanks again for bringing me to my senses on that bike

It seems like a very high price, in any case, engine mods are best done by the current owner IMHO....beware fancy upgrades that you do not have definitive information on who did them and how the bike was maintained. Don't ask me how I know lol.....the bike looks really clean and I'm sure they spent a fortune but the others who chimed in have pretty much nailed it on the head, you could probably buy an 07 Deluxe yourself and do some serious mods and paint for less and it's the exact way you want.

Those cars are SWEET...!!! I'd take any one of them....
Mine was tame in comparison, but I did it myself. While my skills are limited, the satisfaction is high when I do it myself...
