Becareful it is fairly easy to put a new speedo in them which restets the mileage to zero if it's a new speedo. However they are are reliable machines. I would try to get them lower and if that's the actual mileage it's a fair price. With that many miles it should look pretty close to new with a few scratches. Let us no how it turns out.

Dont go over $3500.All the add ons dont count for nothing when you trade one in why should the "stealer" make any more from them.
As for reliability the 500 Sportsman is as reliable if not more so than any Honda.Plus rides better[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
