Welcome to the site from another newbie.  Won't be for long though. Good choice on the bike though.  Chrome, pipes, and more chrome.

Cheers and beers.

Going to back out of the bike and deal after all this I feel bad. Talked to the owner that traded it in and found that the bike was damaged , all cosmetic but damaged just the same. Feel over in a trailer and took out the right side of the bike, The dealer repaired it with all new parts but I do not feel right about this bike now. They replaced the fairing inner and outer, tank, front fender, saddle bag right side and tour pack, and a bunch of other stuff, bars, mirror, grip, lever. Just dont feel right to me even thougth its looks like brand new, I know the damage was done. The dealer did tell me they had to fix a few things, but the owner got into more detail. Back into the closet I guess for now. Thanks to everyone here for all the kind words of welcome and lists of things to do to it.  Thanks Again Doc.

Doc, of course it is your choice but I think I might make another pass at the dealer. From what you have written, there was no frame or mechanical damage of any kind. Tin, plastic and shinny things are easily replaced and if your run back at them with the knowledge you have now, offer a lower bid with an extended warranty thrown in. Sounds to me that bike could be bought right and could be a hell of a deal.

Don't let cosmetic damaged goods change your mind. Heck by the time you get through customizing it you will probably have replaced more parts than they did. Check to make sure that the frame was not damaged, as long as it has a clean title and not a salvage one then I would do as MJZ said. Offer less money and an extended warranty.

MJZ and Hogasm are giving you good advice.  Heck - I wish I could get new plastic parts at the expense of someone else. You have the chance to get virtually a brand new bike for a very good price.  I would reconsider.  There is nothing wrong with getting replaced tins.......... This is a good thing.  Good luck with your choice.  ;)

Doc,
It is your choice, and your money. But I ditto what all has been said about still getting this bike. If your concern is the damage make it worth your while in the deal in regards to purchasing it (lower price and extended warranty). There is NO WAY not to have imperfections on these scooters (if you plan on riding it). Things are going to happen.... you are going to get scratch here, a ding there, a piece broken here, a piece replaced here it is inevitable.

I would be more concerned that the parts replaced were OEM correct pieces for the bike. If they are then work a deal, get the bike, and ride it like you stole it (which after you negotiate the price my hope is this will be the feeling you get... you stole it).

To find a bike with the low mileage as this one has is rare thing.
