Default How much to pay for a 12 Forty Eight?

Hello all!

Sold my 06 1200 a few years ago and miss it so much. Just found a decent deal I believe on a 12 Forty Eight with 1,036 on it. I wanted to consult with you all to see what you think it is worth. KBB says about 9k. Is that accurate?

If it's stock that price is on the very high side at a dealer.

It's 100% bone stock. The price is $6,600.00. I'd love to have it and ride it for the summer and then possible get rid of it and not lose money it ultimately.

Now that price is reasonable. That's about what you would get for it in a trade in.

Very reasonable price, almost a great deal. Especially for only 1,036 miles.

Assuming it's in good mechanical condition, I'd get it.

make sure it has the 1,000 mile service. The cost around SW Ohio ranges from $272-$363 plus tax. I checked 4 dealerships today for mine.

If that bike has clean title and no problems it's either already sold or wont last.

Do not think.... just get it. That is a very decent price for a bike that has done almost no miles!

Post photos once you have it



Good thing that I am never getting rid of mine... it is depressing to see the price drop like that... I need to ride mine more so the cost to enjoyment ratio is on my favor... lol.
