How many owners and how many miles has the current owner put on?  That can make a difference.

For example, the first owner of my bike put 18k on it.  The second owner put 500 miles on in the 2 years he owned it.  I've had it since '08, and it now has 46k on the odometer.  I know the first owner took care of it because it looked good when I got it and the second owner practically parked it and forgot about it.  It still looks good at 46k, so you know I've taken care of it.

The bike has 37K miles on it, not sure how much longer it would last without major rework.  That's a long history that's totally unknown.

I don't know.....that is a blackout bike with a ton of options (even though the bags have seen better days).  I'd ride it with that paint for a few years while I figured our exactly what I'd like to do, lined up a painter, pinstriper, etc., and then paint it.

Agreed.  The fact is, this is a bike I'm considering buying, but I would prefer a different color.  Can't bring myself to paint over this really nice work, so looking to see if someone would be willing to trade.
