Buying Used?

[LC4CARL]

I was looking online at LED replacements.... Any thoughts on this?

As I recall, one must add a resistor or something. Not sure.

I would say buy the newest,lowest mileage bike you can afford bro(I've seen some nice Gen II's go for as low as $6,500).

I still say the Gen 1 is the best looking generation.......

Suzuki knew what they were doing in those days.

I’d have to agree. I’ve also had pretty good luck buying used. Which one is 18 and which one is 42?

Definitely. There may be older bikes that were built to be more reliable, but after 20 years any vehicle is going to start to have issues. Rubbers hardening, corrosion setting in, electronics and their connectors having issues. This is ok if you're into restoration work, but I just want to ride now wrench. Buy new? Look out on that score. Modern bikes have lots of issues now, and no one seems to care? Even my super reliable 2022 yamaha T7 has some rust forming in the tank. WTF!!! This is basically why I picked up another Gen-II 2018 build. It should be good for a decade and more of trouble free riding. To my mind I can't go too far back and I can't go forward.
