Its a 2005 with only 2139 miles. I got it for around the same price that the S40's were going for in my area. Which is really what I wanted to begin with. Really happy with it. It came with a nice windshield and other than that, its all stock.
Its my first bike ever, really. I have been cutting my teeth on my dads (now my sons) 2011 Yamaha 250. My real passions are in working on my watercooled VW's. Thinking about buying an oven so I can start powder coating again. Would like to change some things on the bike.
Would like some louder exhaust. Would also like to make some sort of custom saddlebags using a pair of timbuk2 messenger bags. So, if anyone has any thoughts on that, let me know.

Looks great, sounds like a fair price, too. Many Happy Miles!

Welcome to the board
You'll love that bike!~

Took my safety class over the weekend. Finally feel comfortable enough to get on this beast and WOW!!!!!!!
What a fun ride. I know there are louder, faster bikes out there but this is just what I need. I can get in and out of traffic just fast enough, its comfortable and I think its a better looking bike than the 12 I saw on the way home from my 15 mile ride....... I really did not want to stop, but, its not tagged yet, so........

thank you, thank you, thank you....... Yeah, no official license but I have been told that having my safety class card and a valid drivers license would get me off the hook from most 5 0. But...... I"m off work Monday and will get the official one. I am insured too. Also, just found out I need an inspection for my tags!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE YOU MISSOURI!!!!!!

damn sharp bike...gawd, I love Intruders! 
The darkness envelopes me
Like a blanket with cold trembling fingers
A seductive caress that chills me to the bone
The acrid taste of sulfur and metal lingers on my lips
Like a deceitful kiss from the blackest of witches
I welcome it as if it were a reunited lover
