Done thinking about it

Pretty certain he just took the plate off like most of us would for posting sake. The price and tire wear is consistent with the year and mileage.
You are probably right. Getting a bit gun shy. I have not had much luck yet in finding a bike. Not a member on here but a guy had one for sale with 900 miles. Looked at tires which were Avon's and worn down as much as mine. Then there are folks who wish to sell just shy of the original purchase price. Deals are out there for sure.
 
Nothing wrong with being gun shy. There are a lot of bargains out there but also a lot of bad intentions. It's a lot of money so you need to be a little skeptical.
