THAT would be a roadtrip right there lol!

Back to the first post, I've contacted the seller.  I do believe it was an honest mistake, he listed the bike on a few other places as an 02.

That said, the showas and ohlins are still on it.  We are talking price at the moment.

To further complicate the situation, I've found a super clean 04 futura w/5K miles on it....for $4500

There's an 04 ST4S here in DFW fo' sale, its RED's. If you need something to compare and haggle against.

I have a friend with a Futura... awesome bike, basically like a rocket propelled armchair.

I like my Futura, but its not really that fast.  Taftonomos, you should ride a Futura before you take that trip...

It is a great bike, but not sure that's gonna sell any ... Just sayin'.

All I see is a La-Z-Boy dual recliner with a f'n ice chest built in between the seats, 2 drink holders & a remote control for every electronic device in the house.

I promise to make better mistakes tomorrow.

The ST4S seller and myself have come to an agreement on the new price.   I seriously considered the RST, but the super poor resale value on them will make it hard to get rid of should I not like it.

Hell, I found a 04 RST w/5K miles on it....guy will let it go for $4500!

I'll be headed out to IAH on Tuesday to pick that sucker up :D...the ST4S  [thumbsup]

So what are the final specs on the bike.  Ohlins forks and Ohlins rear shock? It is a 996 right?

Is it red?

Here's hoping for a  successful and safe journey.  Best of luck and good weather on the trip.  [thumbsup]

The 02-03 had showa front, but the nice ohlins rear with remote preload adjustment.

I'll need to put a set of springs in the front, and respring the back, but should be in/out for little money.

It's a 996
