Wanna buy » Gettin' a used Multi 1000s

[M1Tanker]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2006 Multistrada 1000s DS, with only 750 miles, for approx. $11,800. Is this a great deal, good deal, or what? Thanks for your advice.

Not a great deal unless it has some expensive options like a full exhaust system, hard saddlebags, etc. Not too long ago there was a $2000 factory discount on all MTSs, meaning you could one brand new from a lot of dealers for what you are about to pay for a used bike. It does not matter if the bike has very few miles--it is a used bike and I have seen WAY better deals here. Look at some of the posts in the marketplace forum and you'll see what I mean. By the way, the bikes in the pictures are not Multistradas. Just in case someone was really pulling a fast one on you.

Actually, that's my wife's bike (black and chrome) and my bike.

I bought a 9 month old 06 S with 3600 miles and $2500 in options I wanted and would have purchased for $10,000.

Those V-rods are very nice. If you pick up a Multi you will find a big difference. Not as quick but you won't have to slow down for the corners anymore. Good luck. You have good taste in bikes !!

Not a great deal but the Multi would be a great complement to your H-D's.

Thanks for the compliments. Like I tell my wife, "You can have all the shoes you want. I only want a few bikes!"

For what it's worth: the Winter NADA book has the '06 1000s at $12,055 average reatil, but it sounds like you can do better...

Apex: Thanks for the info. If someone out there is looking to sell their 1100, please let me know. Thanks!

I got my brand new '06 non-S for $9500

Keep looking. Shop at least 3 dealers!

Actually, the 2006 and older models are 1000s. If you are looking for an 1100 it will be a 2007, and not many used ones have shown up yet since they all are so new.

Just to give you a pricing average...

I bought an '04 1000DS with 17K miles for 6500.
It came with a givi monokey rear luggage box and the bike was immaculate.

I just purchased an '06 1000S with 650 miles for $8,000. Bike is like new.
