I was in the same position you are about 6 months ago. I had another bike, but it wasnt the right one to do the job. So I worked two jobs to save up for a better one. I bought my bike for $3500 and outfitted it myself did all my own work and I feel ten times better about it now that I am fitting the road in 1 1/2 months. The $5500 doesnt seem to be to bad of an Idea. The miles worry me a little but it is an 07. Anyway good luck and I will follow along and see what you choose to do, maybe I can give some advice on the road. That article on advrider about boarder crossing is a great reference. A little out dated but i imagine not much will have changed.
