If anyone's looking here's a bone stock 2006 LT for $13.5 (asking). It's not mine & I don't know anything else about it, but what can you do to an LT in 11K miles??
It probably is a great deal, but I always felt that many bike's and car's real life expectancy is determined by its treatment in the first few thousand miles.
Don't underestimate the ability to quickly ruin a new engine.

True, and that's why I'd never buy a used car from a rental company. However, a lot of the low mileage LT's out there are being sold by riders who never got the feel of the bike and sell out of fear. It's a little harder to hurt something your afraid to push to the limit. Now a low mileage sport bike being sold by a guy in a body cast would probably scare me off.

On the other hand, If the PO was the type to lug it around all the time...not so good either. I would rather have a used bike that was ridden hard and taken care of than a garage queen.
Interesting comments - my '06 has less than 12K on the clock, is ridden regularly, properly serviced & I can and do keep up with my 34 yo son on his R12GSA (although not on the gravel roads....)
It's just that I put 100 or more miles on it on the weekend, and little to nothing during the week, plus a 3K trip every year.
Now that we have the Spyder, the LT is never ridden around town - guess that I'm too much the optimist & think that everyone keeps his bike like I do...
