I went and looked at this 1800N Friday and it looks super clean. I was only able to ride it around a parking lot because it was raining and I didn't want to take this guys bike out riding in the rain. The paint looks flawless plus he has alot of extra chrome add ons he didn't list. The down side is his 3"HKs do have that crack on the heat sheild of the front pipe near the bracket that others have seen and he is located near Poteau so its about 2.5 hrs from Tulsa. The little I rode it it feels alot heaver than the 1300. Most of the riding i do is around town so it would take some serious getting used to. The FI, Gas Light, etc were great and it fired up and accelorated like a dream. Seems like a good kid (in his late 20s) and the reason he is selling is cuz he and his wife want to start a family and are trying to get ahead financially. Since they seemed like such nice folks I mentioned that if I didn't buy it that I would do what I could to better advertize it on the forum. So this is a dual purpose post.
I am on my 2nd 1300c and love it. But can't keep 2 bikes. Guessing it would be a wash selling mine and getting this one but again it's alot heavier. I am going to be about an hour away from Poteau Thursday and he offered to let me take it for a spin then when the weather is better. I dunno. Maybe I should be happy with what I have since she is paid off and set up almost exactly how I want. If I bought this one I would need to replace the pipes and change the bars almost immediately which + extra $$$$$.
Here is a link to the craigslist posting. If anybody else wants to jump on it I encourage it. Know he does not NEED to sell it and will not take any low ball offers especially from folks who want him to meet them half way.
