is it a std GS or an "adventure"?

It's a GS.

[KarlB]

offer 12-13k seems a little high for a std GS that has been dropped JMHO

KarlB,

Thanks so much for the response. Yea, I did some more online digging and it didn't seem right. I emailed him and told him by concerns. He never wrote back, which surprised me because he seemed like a good guy. Initially he told me all about the bike and sent me a few pic's. But when I went to go look at it at the dealership (he was having a fuel strip replaced) I saw the scratches and took some pictures of the bike. I was surprised he didn't mention it to me initially because he seemed like he really took care of his bike and he wanted it to go to a "good home." Oh well, wasn't meant to be......maybe I'll just wait and get a new one.

Thanks again!
