    Hey all, sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask in, but I am in the market for a newer 610 and I have the itch bad!

    I found an 08 with 4k mi. for $4850. looks and reads good(from the ad) but I am nervous about the mileage. It seems as though these are getting pretty hard to come by, but I don't want to jump into one prematurely.

    is 4k mi a lot for an 08? How about the price?
    is an 09 any better other than age?

    thanks for any input. from CA

    sounds like a pretty fair deal.4000 is not alot of miles.2009 is the exact same bike as 2008.dan

    Yeah, I put 2k on my 630 in only a few months, zero issues.

    I was looking at a nice 07 SM610 with 5k miles for $5k, then I heard about the sale on 630's...

    I've got about 14,000 miles on my 08 and I bet many others have a bunch more... I've gone through, 1 wood ruff key, 1 temp sensor, 1 spark plug, 1 fuse, 1 air filter, 1 clutch cable, 1 clutch actuator, 1 actual valve adjustment, a few chain n sprocket sets, and a boatload of tires in that time.... :) And loved EVERY mile of it.. :)
