Hate to tell you, but Honda/Yamaha of Redlands recently sold off their NEW left over 04's for $4,000, out the door! I tried to get my friends to take advantage of it, but nobody did. I didn't have $4,000 laying around either. My EX is an 00 and getting old and tired, and I wish I had been able to take advantage and replace it with a fresh one!

 

Hi There, I am new here too. I also am in SoCal and I think I am going to go with an LTZ400. Looks like a great bike!
Hope we can share some rides and spots sometime soon!
