| I'm new too ... just bought a 2003 Silverwing with 22K miles ... well maintained (but going for a 24K service tommorrow to start it off right). Already a couple of hundred miles ... I love it.
Came to the Swing from a 150cc ... wow, what was I thinking .... this is great ! |

| True but any Silverwing is a good buy unless it's been thrown down the road or blown up.

| We have a different interpretation of "good buy". It must be a continental thing.
Over here, something is only a good buy if the price is below fair market value and it is in acceptable condition.
For you, it sounds like a good buy is something that is worth buying, before any price is set. I assume that's why the '04 with only 1633 miles qualifies for your "good buy".
On that note, good bye.

Why should he? I always thought that price paid was correct if both the buyer and seller agreed that it was fair. The actual dollar or pound or Euro or whatever amount is so much garbage.

| It's really very simple to tell if someone got a good deal, if they paid below blue book then it was probably a good deal, than again if you paid over blue book and you're happy with the deal thats all that matters. Ride Safe. |
