Checked it out at lunch today. Great shape, has some extras but nothing super expensive. Looks to be well taken care of. Made an offer, owner is supposed to call me tonight with an answer.

I have an 08 as well. Great bike, no issues to date with 5k on it. Let us know if it comes through.

I love my '06 I just picked up. You will love the '08. Good luck hope you get it for the price you want! Good luck sleeping at night with all the mods and ideas you will want to do to it.

Mine is an '08 that gets ridden year round. No problems at all. Take care of it and it'll take care of you.

I have an 09 with 35k. I have a bearing in the primary and metal shavings in my tranny at 20k. Got it fixed under warranty and no issues so far!

'08 Train here. No major issues at all. Couple of little things (run/off switch broke, gas gauge is woefully inaccurate) but other than that- bulletproof. Just routine maintenance.

Hope you get it man! You'll love it. I don't see ANY night trains around here, so mine gets lots of attention. Yours probably will too.
