2. is that to many?
3. how much is a bike worth if i has 10,15, or 20,000 on it?

My F2 has around 33,000 miles on it and it runs just fine. Never had any engine work done on it. Value depends more on condition. I paid $1500 for mine but it didn't run, had a smashed gas tank and a spray bombed upper fairing. At the time it had 29,000 on it I think.

Mine has 27k, I paid 1500 for it, It runs GREAT, is missing left and right lower fairings and is in overall excellent shape. Its gonna be hard to find one with under 10k on it. If you do find one, they are gonna want alot for it.

Let us know with what u find.

Ride Safe

Mine has most 28000 on it and still running great, it's pretty hard to find an F2 with under 10k on the speedo

NEVER EVER rely simply on miles. have had an e150 clubwagon with 330K miles on it and it ran better than cars i have had with less than 100K on it. my f2 has 22K on it and runs like a champ. You can find f2s that have less than 10K but are they going to run as well as some with 40 or 50K on it? it really all depends on if it was taken care of. I believe some people have had close to 100K if not more on these bikes.

Mine was beat to hell with the fairings held on by bread wrapper twist ties. The rear brakes had been smoked (the rotor was DOA). When I rode it home the tank and seat weren't even bolted on. It was UGLY!!! But I paid $1000 for her with 20K original miles. But Holy twist and go Batman! did she run great. So now I have about $1500 dollars into it and she only wants for paint. It looks like I'm going to make at least that much parting out my old '82 GL500i.

Dude, I'd pick up the F2 and grab some ebay fairings or some off of this forum. You could have that sucker together for less than $1500. Even the F3 isn't such a bad deal, assuming everything is in good shape aside from the fact that plastics are missing.

How is your girl now? I remember you went down on her not too long ago correct? Yours was definatley dictionary definition of a CLEAN F2

My bike had 30k on the clock when I got her, and I paid 2800 for her cause I wanted it that bad. I have 36k on her right now and I have had numerous offers above what I paid for her. It's all about the condition of the bike.

I don't let how many miles on a bike factor if I want it or not though, but that's just me.
