Looks like the guy who bought it and changed his mind about owning one is trying to recover all his costs.
In this world "it aint gonna happen".....as soon as you drive a new vehicle, car or bike, out the door it IMMEDIATELY depreciates to "used" condition and the price drops....
Motorcycle Consumer News publishes stats on your bike, and I'm using a bonneville since they don't list the black(bonnie would be a bit higher by maybe $1000) but they rate the bike, used as being worth $6999(msrp). The accessories he has cost less than $500 and would not add a substantial amount to the deal...
IMHO what you have here is a dude who probably paid too much for the bike in the first place and is trying to recover his "screw up" money and let you pay for his mistake.
I would likely stay away from this, go and buy a new one. The market is really sloooow right now and he's likely not going to find someone foolish enough to buy his mistake and eventually he might come down(if he realizes and owns up to the fact he screwed up) on the price, otherwise as far as I'm concerned he can sit on it.
So, hope this helps you make a decision, it's likely if you make a lower offer he's going to stand on his asking price...it's too soon for him to realize his error and take a financial hit for his mistake (which he should, for his own sake) but he's probably hard headed and won't budge right now.
For what he wants, you could probably get a really nice T-100 from a dealer and still come out ahead.
