You might look again, you've slept since you priced last, try $18,500.

open your eyes before you open your mouth....I have $15K+...hence the + :wink:

I saw the +, figured 5-600 give or take so I just had to look.  I about s**t.
Makes me want to fix mine.  Might be $19,000 if you look tomorrow.
If I'm spending $18,500 it would be a 2015 KTM 1290 Super Adventure.
You should fix it just so you can take it out to Draper and show it off.  Most people have probably never even seen one.  It would be like driving a Ferrari, you would be a celebrity. 
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

I bought my SH KX500AF back in late 2009 brand new from SH. Brand new 2008 KX450F frame. I included a Clarke 3.2 tank and a E-line carbon fiber pipe guard with the purchase. I paid just under 12K which included shipping to Nevada. 19K for a new one! It's been six years almost seven since I bought mine but that still seems to be a huge price jump! Wow! Hopefully that means mine is holding it's value better. Down side for me on the new one's beside price would be air forks. Not a believer in them yet.

yeah, $7K is a huge price jump...not sure how they figure that kinda of money...unless the demand for them has gotten extremely high.
