So jtemple in your honest opinion would you buy it and if so what price? I know the price is high so kinda wondering what would be a good price. (i suck at this stuff)

Yeah, the chain looks a little unkempt. It did have some gunk on it, like it may have been lubed in the past. Just judging by the owner's nonchalant attitude and lack of interest in riding, I'd guess he's never done a bit of maintenance on the bike, and he's had it since May.
I'm anal about taking care of my crap. My SV looked brand new when I sold it, and it was pushing 10,000 miles.
I never did have him start the bike; totally forgot to have him do that.
Would I buy it? Probably not. But, like I said, I'm picky about stuff.
If I were to be in the market for that bike, I'd maybe offer him $2500-$2800, if he provided legit maintenace records. There's no way I'd pay $3500 for it.
Speaking of maintenance records, he mentioned that he might be able to get them from the previous owner, who had all work done by that dealer I mentioned.
I have more pics going up of luggage, a new rear tire, etc. It's all included in the deal, he says.
The bike has Shinkos on it, the back one is pretty flat, so he doesn't do twisties. The new rear tire is also a Shinko.
