To buy or to pass?

I'm in the market for a used panigale and I've come across a 13 1199 with 13000 miles on it for a halfway decent price. They've got it listed for $9995 but I'm sure I can get it lower. Its completely stock and only one owner who was an older gentleman. He purchased it new from the dealership who has it for sale. The only thing that's got me a bit scared is the higher mileage. I guess what I'm asking is there anything I should be on the lookout for when I go look at it or should I be concerned about the mileage?

How much of a rush are you in to buy? My area had a stock 2016 1299s with 2k miles for $15.9k in mint condition, and a 2011 1199s with cosmetic goodies and a cored exhaust with 3k miles for $12.5k.

I did a quick search, and it looks like lower mileage 1199s' are going for $13k, and some have full exhausts on them.

Basically saying good deals will come around if you can be patient. If you want to buy now, I'd ask for a little bit off it because you're close to the 15k service, which depending on where you take it, can run up to $2k (if you want to do the service).

Good advice.
If you think you will want to modify it a bit later on the smart thing would be to buy one that has the bits already inplace. Cheaper and easier task.

The 1199 is a cranky beast stock and with an exhaust and fueling solution is a much nicer ride. Now the V4 is out the stock of used V2 bikes with the needed accessories will be plentiful, spend just a bit more and take your time.

Prices vary quite a bit, but $10k might be a tad too high with that many miles. You'll hit the 15k-mile service pretty quickly and it'll cost you over $1k.

I got a pretty good price on my 1199S, I paid $11k. It had about 7k miles, but the bike was basically stock and there were some small scratches (never dropped though).

Maybe try talking them down. Tell them it's going to cost you $1k-2k for the next service.

I would search around and look for a 1299 instead of an 1199, its a much better engine for general riding.

Thanks for the reply's guys. I'm not in a real big rush to buy but have been looking for a bit now and the pickings are pretty slim up here in the north east. Most of the 1299 are is the 16-18 range and the lowest priced 1199s I've found is 14k with 1500 miles. It's strictly going to be for street use riding to work and the occasional lunch date with the wife so I'm not really looking to spend a whole lot on one.

buy the one for 9995 then. 25000 mile one is going for $8K. Id say maybe 9500 is a little more fair, given that i have seen S models go for 11.

It can be scary buying sight unseen, but a lot of places will ship for $500 anywhere in US.

too much.

i picked up my 2012 tricolor w/ about $4k in upgrades and 3200 miles for $11,500.

be patient.

i've seen one with 16k miles and i got the price down to 5.5k but never ended up buying it. ended up with a 1299 with 600 miles for 13k

Wow you guys are finding some deals. I ended up finding a one owner 2012 1199 with 2000 miles. It's all stock except a Termignoni slip on. $11000 but it's a 7 hour drive to get it.

Go for it. I'm pushing 30,000 miles on my 1199S. It's seen hot city commuting, track days, and 2 years of cross country riding. You can see my video that outlines what you can expect. For the most part, the bike has been reliable with a couple electronic hick-ups, but never left me stranded. Look for oil leaks at the rocker covers and oil pan...common. You've got a 15k valve inspection coming that's anywhere from $900-$1300. Inspect chain and sprockets. I recommend going to a 41 rear sprocket. Other than that, see if an extended warranty can be thrown-in. By 10k, most of the bugs have been worked out by the previous owner. Cheers!

Bike pricing is all over the place depending on where you're located and the only real way to gauge pricing is looking in your local area or however far you're willing to drive. If the pickings are slim in your area then you are probably going to pay a bit more unless you get lucky. If you have the cash to buy you should be on the classifieds a couple of times a day to see whats popping up because any good deal is gone right away. I dont know if you have this option but on my local classifieds(kijiji) you can set up searches for what ever you want and all you have to do is open up the app and click your saved searches and it will automatically check. Takes a few seconds each time to check but worth it if youre looking for a deal. Every now and then you'll run into a desperate seller or uninformed seller price wise but you have to act quick.

It took me a solid 4 months of searching and i finally awoke to my dream bike at a really good price but it was already spoken for within 2 hours. The good with the classifieds was all the flakes so they all bailed and he re listed a couple days after and i got a 2013 white 1199 with 3100 miles for about 9700 us(im in canada) in 2016

Heck yeah - why would anyone buy an 1199 when the 1299 can be had for a few thousand more - much better bike in every respect

Not alot of miles only 14k, the bike wont blow up or unexpectedly break down.

why the 41 rear sprocket
