I like that bike and wouldn't pay that much. (I rode an '05 R5000 for years.) It's three generations and nine years old and they can't move it. It taking up space that new inventory should occupy. I might pay $850 if the fit was perfect and i liked the bike shop. Make them an offer. If they say no, write your name and number down and tell them to call you if they change their mind and walk out.
