Well I have sold my other two bikes and am now on the hunt for a 2013+ Super T. First time in a long long time the garage hasn't had any bikes in it! Got about $8k to spend and happy to travel anywhere in the US for one. Want a blue one if at all possible. If you see anything for sale that meets those marks let me know!
Are you located LA?

Quite a few on Cycle Trader. A blue one with 100k miles for $5000!
I saw that one! Not sure I want one with that many miles since I plan on running mine up that high too. But a good deal if you just want something for the weekends.

I wouldn't be surprised if it went double that mileage without issues. Anyway, good luck on your search. I'm certain you'll find a winner if you're patient.

There are lots of reasons to sell or trade. I think many people get close to the 26,000 mile valve adjustment interval and sell or trade the bike rather than go through the hassle and expense. Also, if you bought the extended warranty it runs out after 5 years and some might sell or trade then. Sure, it can be extended, but many see this as a time to sell or trade. And of course there's the desire to try something different syndrome.
I bought a leftover 2013 in 2015. It's been a good bike, but I'm not sure if I would buy another one...that would be like marrying the same woman twice.
I'd marry my wife again!

Funny reading this thread. I'm in Georgia and couldn't find a gen2 anywhere near me. I ended up buying a blue 2014 from a guy in California and doing a fly & ride. 3800 miles in 15 days. Got to ride with my son in northern CA for 4 days then rode with my son in law around Colorado for 4 days before heading east. Checked this one off my bucket list!

Yeah, I'm trying to decide between a Gen I that has been kitted out and a Gen II thats mostly stock. It seems my price point splits the bikes into those two categories pretty evenly. So I'm scouring the web and looking for whats out there.
you can put cruise on a gen 1 for 500 bucks... I'd budget it out based on that. I run a throttle locky thing.
