I bought my 2016 Versys 1000LT from a dealer in Utah, he had it on ebay with no reserve. Got it for $8100 in April of 2017, new bike with no miles. I drove my truck 1300 miles there to pick it up but I didn't mind. I rode it as my 2nd bike to my 2015 Indian Chieftain and still put 17,000 trouble free miles on it. I put a bigger screen on it throttle lock, GIVI trunk, and a Corbin seat. It was a great bike and I enjoyed it very much. Traded it on the Gold Wing Tour and it cost me almost nothing to own the Versys. I enjoyed the Wing for 17,000 miles too, and traded it on the 2019 Road King. The reason I bought the Wing was my wife had a hard time getting on and off the Versys and after I sold the Chieftain the Versys was my only bike for a while. The only thing I would add to the NC750X would be a electronic cruise control. I have never felt the need for engine modes and traction control, I can live without abs too.
Couldnt agree more with you about the cruise control. Especially now that the new NC has Throttle by wire.
Your Versys story sounds similar to my 2018 Goldwing Tour....Bought it brand new as a leftover in Jan 2020. Paid $17,600 (Its the 6-speed Manual). Just sold it for $18,600....FREE bike for over a year!!
