In the Wichita Eagle this morning is an ad for a 2007 B1250, Black with only 145 mile on it for $5,900. I haven't called the person who put the ad in the paper yet because it's a little early still, but I do plan on calling the person about it.

Of course the guys here at work were razzing me about it, since it is about $2,000 less than what I paid. "Yeah, but mine had 1 mile on it when I got it"

Sounds like the seller got in over their head and now they want to bail out. Too much money spent, or too much motorcycle to handle.

That's a heckuve deal for somebody.

It is a good deal, but there's nothing like popping the cherry on a new bike

Oh yeah, that's why we both married virgins (bikes, anyway

)!

BTW, how is sister #97 doing? Rode hard and put away wet, I hope!

I finally got her broke in. She has just over 1,000 miles now. No real problems to complain about yet. I did have the instrument cluster come loose on me a couple weeks ago. It just snapped back in place.

I will be coming through your way this friday on our way to Horseshoe Bend, The bike is staying at home on this trip I am sorry to say

Hey just curious- I see yours is a 1250SK7 - Mine is listed as a SK6? Dealer screw up?

It might be. I will look at the paperwork when I get home this evening. We are having thunderstorms here, so the Bandit got a chance to rest in the garage today.

That'd be my guess since Suzuki changed the model year designator system in 2001 from an alphabetic one to a K# one (ie; 2001 = K1, 2002 = K2, and so on), so a 2006 is a K6 and a 2007 is a K7. The "S" in front of the "K" is part of the normal model name, GSF1200S, a naked version wouldn't have the "S".

Plus an additional "A" if you have ABS. So, my bike has the half fairing and is a 2007 model with ABS so it is a GSF1250SAK7.

I did too. I am just interested why he/she is selling it.

145 miles?

new rules: it's still cherry if it ain't been dropped & the oil ain't been changed.

The thread is headed "For All You Wanna Be B1250 Owners". Well, I'm gonna be a B1250 owner because soon I have just agreed a 1st June pick-up date with my dealer. Just over a week to go. Whoo-hoo!

The guy returned my call last night. he said that someone else left hima message, but he couldn't get the number. He is selling it because he is in the military and is being sent over to the midlle east. He just needs to get rid of it.
