Thanks for the update, KZ. Sorry it wasn't the excellent deal that it originally looked like. My latest "deal" was just an ok one. In mid November, I found a 2006 Majesty for $1200.00. Sounds like a steal, except that it had over 48,000 miles on it. Talked to the guy and he had bought it used about 4 years ago for a 120mi a day round trip work commute, all freeway. He didn't want to put the milage on his Suzuki crotch rocket. His job ended so he no longer needed the Maj. Since he used it to commute only, he kept the engine and drive system up. Not so much on the looks. So, the price was good enough considering. Two days after I bought it, I recovered the seat. Then I replaced the tail light plastic, cause it was cracked and missing a piece. Had to use rubbing compound on the windshield to remove a couple of years of bugs and grit. Just replaced the gaskets in the exhaust system. Small stuff, and still need to clean and touch up paint, but so far, so good..
