I bought my new 09' in 12' for $6500 +++. Still my favorite motorcycle.

Let me throw a monkey wrench into the thread since your commutes are not as long as they used to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWuElQVIU2g

I get monkey butt in 2 hours. I am good for 300 miles in a day then 2 Tylenol.

Take lots of bottled water and Tylenol.

I was riding back from the gym this morning through the neighborhood and could smell the pancakes and bacon cooking at several homes.

Full synthetic like Mobil 1 20w-50 for warm climates. The synthetic will also make shifting smoother.
