Not to nit-pick or take away from the fact that it's a super-clean bike, but just wanted to point out it does have SE heads on it, so some motor modifications have been done. Also, it has a king tour-pak style backrest pad, passenger floorboards and aftermarket slip-on mufflers. Still, it's a nice, low-mileage bike and it's tough to be overly choosey when you're looking at something they only made 750 or so of and you're looking for one 7 years after it was first produced.
But, oh, that price!
Maybe insurance will pony up?!?
I had not noticed the heads...depending on what was done - that could be a good thing (IMO). I put a king tour pak style backrest on my 01 SERG at my wife's request too. The passenger floorboards are a plus in IMO also - not that I care - but my wife prefers them, so she gets them.... I sold my 01 black/grey SERG in 05 for $22,500 (with 15,000 miles on it). It was a spotless clean bike also. The current owner is still thrilled with the bike.
I have not seen a cleaner 01 for sale since I sold mine - and with those miles - and the fact it is a one owner (dealer owned) bike, you would think it has been well taken care of. If I was looking to add to the stable, I would inquire about the motor mods. If the motor mods seemed reasonable, personally, I would jump at the chance to buy it.
But - to each their own. I am less hung up on "stock" and more interested in making a bike what I want it to be. Resale value or "stock" is never much of a consideration for me... To each their own...
