Hi Mitch,
Why don't you cut the cake in half. If you're any good at haggling, and if you're flashing notes, you might get a good 30% off the price of that 2005 bike. The one you just mentioned sounds like it's gonna give you grief not the bike but the uninterested biking members.
I bought a 2004 TA with 21 000 km on the clock immaculate for 4700 €
Instead of new for 7200€ it was one owner and all honda maintenance.
Which ever way you look at it, I doubt you could go wrong with a TA.
It's a lovely, sturdy, reliable, good machine.
Ps: The dealers love letting new clients test a new bike, they run perfectly, and are very tempting. More money in the pocket for him too. But they ride the same as the old ones the TA. It's got a lot of heritage this bike.
Good luck.
TA-all-the-way
