But to find the optional parts and things if you are after them will be hard to find. So like GB look for all the parts you want, and which of the 2 do you like better, buy it because why second guess yourself after the fact.

The biggest trick with these bikes is finding one with lots of optional stuff already on it, because that optional equipment on what is a decade old limited production bike is getting harder and harder to find.

- April 19, 2014, 12:36:16 PMHello all,
I am new to the riding community and am very actively shopping for a drifter 800. I have come across two online that i am interested in but before i go all in i was curious about one thing, what do you experienced drifter riders consider high mileage on drifter 800? Of the two i am currently looking at, the one i like the most has 17,000 some odd miles and is priced about $1500 over what would be my second choice which has 27,000 some odd miles. 27 seems high to me, but i like the idea of paying less you know? On the other hand I like the idea of personally putting on the extra 10,000 miles on my first choice. Are both these mileages considered high? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
