2010 Silver NT700VAA
Looked at all the bikes they had on display. Two new ones caught my eye. CB1000R and a Tracer GT. Asked what they would give me for the NT in trade and was quoted $1800. To my way of looking at this it makes the NT worth more to me than I can get for it. Could spend some time making it look shiny (curb appeal) with lots of things vying for my attention I wonder if I manage to pull off some adult decisions. Then there was this RT farkeled up with jessie cases in school bus orange...

The Tracer GT would be on my short list if I was so inclined.

Looks good. I just got another AirHawk R large for my bikes. I love 'em.I have a spasming puborectalis and the pad has a non- bearing area right in the center. Frosty uses a custom seat maker in Seattle he really likes. My skinny butt is only really good for 400 miles...maybe 450 tops as it is and then its time for a nap and wine....
 
Karl, you have a FJR, sell the NT yourself. your not without a bike to ride while you do this. Cycletrader.com is my choice first, better leads and buyers. Second choice is craiglist in your area, or any other method. Newspaper is about gone trying this, just doesn't get anybody attention much. Reading something about a sale on a computer or smartphone is the new rad fad
 
My other sport tour is a Trophy SE. I still love the NT. It has picked up a rat rod aspect in the nine years we have been together. Still runs like the Phaff sewing machine my mom had when I was a kid.

I do not know what Craigslist is like in the rest of the country. I can tell you that the people you find on the Los Angeles Craiglist are a bunch of flakes, lowballers, and tweakers.

I have had the best luck with OfferUp for a Phone App.

Do you still have it? I sat one and really like it. The dealer thought I was bananas. I have an NT700 right now.
