Hopefully you will find someone to take it off your hands.
I am curious to know why engine top end needs a work for such a low 12k miles. Did you buy it used or you had since new?
My friend for sure would have bought had it been closer to Northern California. He is a motorcycle mechanic. I get my R1 serviced by him for dinner or 12-pack beers cost for past few years, I always offer him money but he refuses though. The moment he rode my Warrior, he said he would like to buy one. He is not on forums and internet much so I told him I will keep looking for him and let him know if I find a good deal. As a typical mechanic (

), he didn't want to spend 5-6k and instead looking for warrior for cheap that needs some work. I get my R1 serviced by him for dinner or 12-pack beers cost for past few years.
