Welcome to the Two Wheeled Texans community! 
Feel free to hang out and lurk as long as you like. However, we would like to encourage you to 
This is not your everyday bike for sale. This one has been prepped for the new riders out there or someone who isn't interested in having a garage queen. Worried about dropping your bike? Worried about taking it on trails and scratching it up? No worries, that has already been taken care of.
We bought the bike (via this forum) in great shape just a few month ago. Unfortunately, on Nov 23rd my wife went wide in a turn and was doing fine riding the dirt parallel to the road until she hit a large rut that bucked the bike sideways. When the rear wheel came back down in caught in the soft dirt, resulting in her highsiding with some severe injuries. Her doctor is advising against riding the rest of the year, and she still isn't sure if she will ride again, so I have made the functional repairs to the bike and posting it up.
The good:
Only 7981 miles.
Previous owner installed a Custom Ohlins rear shock and had front fork work done to lower the bike. After we got it, we had a suspension tech raise it back up about an inch by adding some preload and raising the forks in the triple.
Bike runs/rides great
Handlebars, Starter cluster, right mirror, shifter foot lever/rubber pad, and windshield wellnuts have all been replaced with OEM parts
Come with a taller touring windscreen and a second custom seat
Fresh brake fluid change front and rear.
The bad:
The top case was destroyed and not replaced, but the mounting plate (and mounting bolts) is still there
The right case took the brunt of the impact, bending one of the support bars (creating the angled stance of the case, see pic from rear) and denting the front left corner of the case
The left case has a small dent, maybe from impacting a large rock
The right front fairing is cracked where the windscreen mounts and has a few small scratches.
Right hand guard has scratches in the plastic
Crash bars have some surface abrasions.
Seat has a small nick in the left side.
Front hand brake lever has some rash.
Will need new tires soon
The summary:
All of the items listed in 'The bad' do not affect the function of the bike at all. The cases, although dented, are still functional and weatherproof. The retail for this bike in good condition is $7-8k. For the price I am asking, you could buy all new cases and replace every scratched part and still be under that price.

They get great fuel economy and they have a lower seat height for height challenged rides like me. If I did not have one already I would jump on this one.
