I stopped by Motorsports of Tampa today and found a new 2005 black Rune on the floor. Had 100 or so miles on it, ordered by the owner for his own riding pleasure until it sold. In conversation with him, he claimed that the 2005s are built on allocation based on last years sales rather than by order, so he has access to all three colors. Said he sold 9 2004s last year, including 2 to one person.

List out the door was 30.8k and they offered it to me at 28. Given that I don't like the new rear fender as much as the 2004, I can't see the 8k price difference versus one with 4500 miles at 20k.

My Rune did not smooth out until around 15,000 miles. Get the used one! It isnt really broken in. Read the posts about oil. The mill marks on my camshaft lobes were still visible at 24,000 miles with Amsoil 10-40 Synthetic.
