NGC - Picked up another

[Perazzimx14]

I've been shopping for another late winter project and recently passing on a 2006 S2R and a 1995 900SS/SP a 2010 R1200GS with only 2,280 miles on it popped up f/s Saturday mid-morning on FBMP. A few messages back and forth and an amount was agree too. Sunday morning the wife and I went and picked it up. I had told the seller I was a no BS buyer and would not waste his time. From the time we pulled into his driveway until we were headed home with the bikes secured in the bed of the truck 17 minutes elapsed

Why did you pass on the 900SS/SP?

Several reasons with the seller being the biggest.
