Still a few day to make my mind...

Yea but for a RTW machine you really don't need to buy a new one.
$4999+ tax isn't a great deal really. They were selling brand new 09's for that just last year. MSRP on that bike was $5350.00
Today's Nada average retail is just over $3600.00. The second you ride that bike off the lot it becomes a 3 year old bike. They know that!
You should be able to buy that bike for no more than $4000.00
If it was me I'd offer $4000.00 and be ready to walk away from it.
Shop for a clean used DRZ400 or a clean used 07' KLR. You can find them already fixed up for around $3500.
Here's a nice looking one in PA
If I had to do it all over again I'd give the DRZ serious consideration especially with the nice aftermarket seats available.
Whether you're a novice rider or experienced you'll appreciate a lighter easier to handle machine for the long haul. Even the older KLR's are fairly heavy machines.
Here's a low mileage F650GS with bags and everything already for $5500obo
Here's an 09' KLR with all the bags and extras already for $3600! Looks like a screaming deal
Anyway good luck with whatever choice you make.
