Thank you folks. Lets continue, how many miles could I expect from this bike before worrying about the motor? The seller is asking $4900 which is a lot for me, but if it will runk 100k its worth the price. Do you think thats a fair asking price? Its right on the KBB value. Are there service records to ask for?(Splines?) I'm also looking at a bmw r65. I like Italian bikes better but the bmw seems to have reliability and longevity in spades.

Whats up guys, i'm considering a 2002 Le Mans w 22k miles in Dallas. The seller is a member here and its currently for sale in the classifieds section. Looks very tidy and well cared for. I was hoping you could share some insight into what to look for and some long term owner info. I asked about the shifter spring and it hasnt been replaced to his knowledge. Are there any other hidden grenades or issues? Ive been on ducati's for a couple years but they were never very comfortable and I wouldnt think about touring on one. I'm familiar with italian electrics and love working on bikes, but I have no urge to split the cases on a modern bike.
