It isn't really, it's just been well run in! What sort of mileage do you reckon you will ride each year? If you are a high mileage rider (a friend of mine does more than that each year on his CVO) it won't matter, if you do a lower mileage then after a couple of years you will bring down it's average mileage. If it's a good price, well serviced and in good condition......

Can't say it any better than that.

So, it's been owned by someone who used it as intended. Big chance that it has been properly run in and cared for as it should have been. If the price is right it is as Gr. says a good bike to buy.

18K delivered to your garage would be a decent price.

Wow! $18k would be a crazy steal. Think about this, the owner could've easily bought it in late 2014. I have 12k miles on my '15 and it's not even a year old yet. Those pipes and sissy bar add up quick! Get it.
