Hey guys,

Neutron green SE5, 1900 miles, flawless, in on trade for a 2014 RT. All service records intact and up to date. $12,499 is the price that I was offered. Seems like a great deal, almost too good to be true? Or is it somewhat reasonable/average? I test rode it and besides the common clunking into gear (it's a bit louder than I anticipated, even having read about it), it was smooth shifting and fast.

Absolutely loved it! :yes:

Thinking about pulling the trigger!

the klunking is normal for first and reverse. Price seems good but check Kelly Blue Book and/or NADA for prices in your area. This can give you a better picture. Good luck on your purchase...:thumbup::ohyea:

If I were looking for an RSS I would for sure go for that one. That's a good price.

Oops I forgot to mention that it also comes with matching Can Am side bags already installed. I believe my research has shown this is about a $1k mod right?

89480


As you can see...the previous owner also had those quirky foot pedals installed.

89481

Apparently he didnt like the stock ones lol. Needless to say I'll be having the dealer take them off. Probably just sell them online. :dontknow:

Run a search for that year, make, and model on cycletrader.com for your area (within 250 miles of your ZIP code)....................you'll get a pretty good idea of what real world prices in your area are.

OK...this increases the value of this RSS by at least $850.00,........IMHO.....Mike :thumbup:

Sounds like a pretty good price. The bags cost around $850--but most of the time you don't get back anywhere near what you have into them when it comes to trade in--hence the still low asking price.

It also sounds like you have done due diligence on checking out history and service records.

I would not wait too long to pull the trigger if this RS is what you desire.

stop questioning this opportunity, you like it buy it, the bike is still new.
I bought my GS/RS 2009 in july 2012, it had 4000 miles on it, paid $12,000.
The bike now has 19,000, best thing I ever did was buy that bike.
