These are terrific bikes and a hell of a lot easier to live with than the four-valve versions. I suspect that pricing is region-sensative, so what seems right for SoCal might not be right elsewhere.

What I'd like to add is that if I recall correctly, these bikes - the early ones, at least - were geared very high - so much so that at legal speeds, the engine was nearly lugging. I cured that by going up two teeth on the rear sprocket - do not remember if I changed the front one, this was a long time ago. But it made a big difference. Didn't loose all that much top speed, but the change turned the bike into a rocket when you rolled into the throttle.
