Would appreciate your thoughts on the following two bikes:
1) 2004 FZ6 - 19,000 miles; 2 owners; no mods; no accessories; never been wrecked/dropped/laid down; no maintenance documentation; faster blue; $2000. I don't know if the tech recalls have been done or not (going to look at the bike in the next day or so), but I talked with the local shop and they'll take care of them if not already done.
2) 2009 FZ6 - 14,000 miles; 2 owners; new fork oil (owner wanted fresh oil and better handling); no mods; no accessories; never been wrecked/dropped/laid down; no maintenance documentation; stealthier black; $3000
I like the black color better and the fact that's it's only five years old vice 10. Also, didn't the '04's have FI issues? On the other hand, the $1000 difference would allow me to get some accessories like luggage. But, as one member on here said in another thread, "a 7 year old bike that has LOW MILES is likely to be a greater problem child than one that has been ridden for 7 years!!"
I'm torn. Thoughts?
