Wheelbase looks very long, especially for a supposed sport bike. ...

I thought so too, til I looked it up.  My '99 T1100S, which feels like riding a schwinn after riding a big bike, is a 58.2 inch WB.  My '09 K1300S feels like it is at least 6 inches longer, but is 62.4 inches WB.  4.2 inches is all.   

 

And it does very well in the tight twisties.  Yesterday morning I was riding behind a new Jeep on SR60 going into Suches.  He was driving a very spirited pace for a jeep, no other traffic that time of the morning but zero chances to pass anything, nasty twisty until you get to Woody Gap.  I had to ride with one hand to stay awake.  The Duolever front end (like the K16) is really good.  With all that HP and T on tap and 11 thou redline, you have all 6 gears available (well, only 65.2 mph in 1st).  And as Dennis Andress says, "It is a very forgiving bike."

 

$3K is a steal for that bike.  But only if 167 HP is your kind of thing.  I'm tempted to fly up and ride it back and I already have one and too many others.

We’ve covered this before guys, it sure looks like the CL trifecta, no phone, very few pics, dirt cheap price. Scamarino, too good to be true.

I could handle being sold. I worry more about being parted out.

I'm thinking of dropping in to see what all he's got and the prices they're asking.  May drop in Friday, then return on Sunday.  Generally, Sunday is a hefty % off,...50+ on many things.....dunno on the bikes.

^^^^ And I'm only 90 miles  away (oh my....)

 

30 minutes from my work, 1hr from my house.  Leave work 'bout 0930, get there to see the "initial" prices, then go back Sunday for the "get rid of it prices".

I had a friend who had a new Rio about then. I’m not sure even a free one would have been a good deal.
