Clean Alabama title in my name and possession, registration good through March 2024.

Riding position is roomier than my GS due to the bar risers and lowered foot pegs, easy to change/adjust to your liking.

Issues:
Only issue is that the ABS failed, code says rear brake circuit is the culprit. I decided not to fix it and just pulled the bulbs from the dash lights so that they aren't flashing. Brakes are very strong and fade free with the Spiegler stainless lines.
There is a light scuff in the paint just above the headlight on the left hand side when facing the front of the bike; happened when I slow motion dropped it in the garage a few years back and it rubbed against some wood. Otherwise paint is in pretty good shape for an old, high mileage bike.

Everything else works as it should, including the heated grips and electric wind screen.

I'd ride this bike anywhere without hesitation, and have. Nearly all my mileage was cross country trips. This bike is very well set up and dialed in for me, and it shouldn't take much to dial it in for you. This bike has a lot of life left and will be a great comfy sport tourer for someone; great way to try this type of bike since it is affordable and already farkled. The only reason I'm selling is that I'm not really into long trips anymore and I have other bikes ( too many...6 and counting, n+1 lol) that are better suited to my current riding habits.
