no luggage, but still a very good deal
Not bad but you can pick up a new leftover KTM 1090R for $13000 from dealer which would be my choice.
I like it, put about 15k km on it so far (45k km total on the bike) and it's been solid. For what I was looking for, no other bike checks as many boxes. The only other model I seriously considered was the current gen R1200GS/GSA, but they were priced around $20-22k for equivalent year/mileage to my Tenere that I picked up for $11k.
Pros
- ADV bike
- Rock solid on the highway loaded down with 3 cases and dry bags
- Shaft drive (cannot overstate how nice it is not to even think about a chain)
- Cruise control
- Decent power
- Yamaha reliability, with cheap Yamaha maintenance
- Electronic suspension is neat
- Build quality and attention to detail is befitting a bike that retails for close to $20k
Cons
- She's heavy, it's not the end of the world, and it rides fine when moving, but you do feel it in a parking lot.
- Stock fuel injection (supposedly flash helps...) is herky jerky at lower rpm in sport mode
- Could use more power. Definitely doesn't feel slow, and has more than enough ooomph to move even loaded down. Could use more though, GS is lighter and makes 20HP more.
The stock luggage is usable but not great, I wouldn't consider it a huge selling point. I sold mine for $400 when I upgraded to Givi Trekker Outback's.
^^Thanks for the info. Seems there are a few on Kijiji that are reasonably priced right now.
If you decide on an ST, aim for a 2014 and up. '14 added a number of worthwhile improvements like cruise control, heated grips, better power, electronic suspension option

What is the GTAM community think is a decent price for a NINJA 650 ABS? I considered the VFR800 (I know I'm all over the place) but still debating....love the VFR but I'm reading that it's a pain in the *** to do any work on.
Valve check, air filter, spark plugs, etc. In other words, the usual stuff.

He's not touring it. Valves and spark plugs very unlikely needed on that motor. except at 35k km interval - depends on the mileage and service done and what generation.

VFR day! I would probably avoid the one with 125000kms though. I like the blue one, of course the blue one is the most expensive. but it only has 34000kms. The ninja 650's for whatever reason, seem to sell for less than a similar condition/year sv650. shrug, don't know why. A good condition 2010 or newer ninja 650 for $3000 wouldn't be bad...but condition is all.
