Great forum with great information. This forum is one reason I am seriously considering a used 650 exec. Sold a Kaw Nomad a year ago and getting the itch. I am trying to figure out what are reasonable prices. Does it seem reasonable to use the average of Kelly Blue book trade in and retail? Local dealer has 2011 low miles for 7999. Seems high. I thought 6,000 would be reasonable. Thoughts? I am looking at 2008-2012. Live in York, PA. Thanks. Scott

First off I don't know how many miles are "low miles" , that said IMO that price is
WAYYYYYYYYYY to high at least for my taste . Here is a much better deal for you and it's in your back yard . http://york.craigslist.org/mcy/4571547028.html

Thanks TheReaper. I had seen that one but it is not an exec, I think. ABS is a requirement. There is a dealer about 1.5 hours away who has a 2012 with 1500 miles listed for 7299. They also have a 09 with 7,500 miles for 5199. Thoughts? Thanks again for the help. Scott

If it were me between the two I would go with the 09 for 5199 , that is if it is as nice as it looks . The difference in price is like $2,100 and in my mind pretty much the same bike . If the tires are original see if you can get them to put a new set of OEM's on for the same price . Tell them it's deal breaker for you if they won't .
