And I got picked this morning. Went to check out a Millennium X1 and what an experience. 7500 miles, totally clean, except for a gnarl on the megaphone-style intake where the former owner's kid tipped it over in the driveway. Race kit, V/H pipe and SRP recall shock, I believe. No leaks, except for something behind the right footpeg mount, which I assumed was spill from the tank, which is right above it. Some gunk dripping off the TBI, but the intake is one of those conical things with a screen at the narrow end. Tires look almost new.

It won't idle until it wakes up a bit, then runs fine. I got to take it around the neighborhood, which has some nice hilly curves, but the trophy wives walking their pomeranians were giving me the stink eye so I didn't hoon it too much.

Bought it for 5k. I'll be picking it up this week!

Congrats DJ! Now that you mention it - and I never thought of it this way before, but my S3 picked me too!

And get an air filter on that thing... at least a forcewinder. Yikes!

Sounds like a very cool bike!

Nice work DJ! My X1 kinda picked me too. Three years later and I'm still loving it! : )
