"Christine" 2007 Rocket III
A local dealer has a 2006 RIII that looks pretty clean, but has 20k miles. It has some extras, windshield, crash bars, passenger footboards. KBB shows $7900, they're asking $6900. I'd prefer lower miles, those of you with a lot of experience with this bike, would that many miles put you off?

National Powersports has an '07 with 8k that looks showroom perfect, but they want $9500, which I thing is too much, even as squeaky clean as it is...

thoughts?
 
I believe either one would do just fine it is just a matter of your dineros.
mine a 2006 has 30 000 miles and never missed a beat and quite a few otherriders have high mileage R3 I think the engine is bullet proof if treated correctly
 
i had a little over 58000 miles on my 08 r3t when i traded it and it was still running good
 
20K miles is not many if the bike has been maintained. Service interval is 10K. Ask the dealer if the 10K and 20K maintenance was done and if so, we think your risks are low on the '06.

We trudge on.
 
Got 115,000 klms on my 2009 purchased Standard .. do that again i'd reckon , no worries.
 
I only have 108,000 miles on my '06. I would have more, but I put some on other bikes as well.

Just make sure that it doesn't jump out of 2nd gear under hard acceleration.
