NADA shows that as Low Retail of $2540 and Average Retail of $3340. Any idea of the maintenance/work that has been done on it? Look at it from the perspective of what you will have to do to it after you buy it. Does it need tires, chain/sprockets, etc.

Of course don't listen to closely to what I say, I would probably look at it and think "Shiny Object" "Me like" and start shelling out the money for it....

Welcome to the site, and good luck shopping!
