    30,000 mile bike with perfect givi luggage or clean stock bike with 8k miles?

    Which would you guys buy? A high milage bike that's super clean and has $1000 worth of hard luggage on it or a stock machine with low miles that I'll have to figure out a luggage solution for? Both are 2006 fz6's for the sameish price.

    CBR600F4i Wrenching Summary

    What an adventure it's been tearing this bike down slowly over the course of many weeks, waiting for free time and warm weather. I've had to replace many of the aging, cracking hoses with new ones. This is especially true for the throttle bodies and fuel lines - as I won't take chances with...
