Hi all, I'm looking at buying an '06 1000S (Black, since these threads all suggest it's the faster color ;-) ). I'm actually planning on test riding one this afternoon, but I wanted to ask a few questions from you MTS pros if you don't mind helping out someone who has never touched a Duc before.

First, what kind of a price range would you consider a "fair deal" on a 1000S with 25k miles that looks to be in great shape? Sticker price on the one I'm looking at is 6800.

How can I tell if the gas tank has been or needs to be replaced?

Other than the tank, are there any other known issues I should be looking out for on this bike?

Thanks for any help you can give!

See if the valve guides have been replaced.
It is pretty easy to check the exhaust guide in th horizontal.
