Well, lots of people like me are Laid off at the moment. Could be one reason. Food and Christmas presents for the kids are priority number one at the moment - Til the "Messiah" takes office and saves us all (Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!).

IMO 13K is giving the bike away!
right now with the election approaching and all of the "sky is falling politics" people are afraid to spend their money on luxuries...
unless you need to sell it... i would hold on to it untill the spring and throw it back on the market

I'll talk to my in-law tommorow and see if he's still up to the offer.
Its just bad timing for us right now, My wife is getting laid off from her job tommorow!! And she's going back to school to finish her nursing degree so trying to make it on 1 income is gonna be hard, Especially since she was kind of my "Sugar Mama" She makes more money than me!!! If it wasn't for that, I'd keep the bike and she'd still have hers.

I've sold a LOT of motorcycles over the past few years, mainly because I'm a dumbass and have this addiction that I can't break. I would recommend taking as many extras off the bike as you can and making it as close to stock as you can...then sell the bike and the parts separately. You normally end up quite a bit ahead that way. It's a bit of work, but often worth it. I just parted out a complete track bike and did okay.

As someone said the economy and time of the year are really hurting you.
Your bike is really very nice and you have done it up right. If it were me, in any advertising pictures I posted I believe I would also try and post some with a nice black seat on it. The brown seat looks great with that color but most people are probably partial to a regular black seat and might not be able to visualize the bike with a black seat on it. JMO and no offense meant.

I was lucky in Sept and found a buyer for my 02 RK with almost 40k miles. He gave $12K. Good luck - your buyer is out there.
