Yet more temptation: '05 DE300 in Arizona

[AZRickD]

Howdy,

I'm not in a financial situation that would make it easy to buy a new-to-me bike, (Summer '08 for an '07 or '08 EC300 was my dream schedule). But this Arizona-based deal has just come up.

It is gently used by a very good trials rider who only rides this DE300 cross country to church on Sunday, rarely engaging the power valve. Pics look clean, and frankly, if my wife were to allow me the privilege of buying a bike right now, I'd rather buy it from a Zonie-in-need.

The listed price is $2950 and it comes loaded.

Please let me know what you think of this bike (EC vs DE; '05 vs '07), etc. I'll be 10 to 15 pounds heavy on the bike as sprung and I load up with lots of gear/tools. I ride tight, rocky (loose, rocky hill climbs), and need a very well behaved Gasser motor.

Naturally, my fellow Arizona riding "buddies" are taunting my $$ wimpishness (they tire of my wistful testimony of Gassers).

Pic of a very clean bike to follow.
