Yeah, but this one doesn't have any of the goodies on it. Good if you must have an unmolested bike, but bad if you're on a budget. The other one had quite a bit of $$ already in upgrades that you'd have to spend if you wanted to really uncork this one.

Cheap upgrade list -

$20 AIS removal kit
$200 - FMF fuel injection tuner
free - open up the airbox
free - drill down through the exhaust to open it
free - (if you have a welder friend) - remove ex-up valve
~$100 - 47T rear sprocket and 110 link chain from rockymountain
$85 - skidplate (depending on if you ride in the rocks)

That much will get you a great running bike for as little as possible.

For touring -

$400 - Wolfman dry seal saddlebags/mounts
$250-450 - bigger gas tank
$30 - heated grips

I also bought a heated jacket, gloves, and a dual controller that set me back another $400, but since I ride year round it was money well spent.
