A little clarification is in order, dc.

The current ('04+) SS800 is actually more of a "base" model than the '03. In 2003, they had both a "Sport" and a "Supersport" version of the 800. For 2004, they essentially got rid of the 800 Supersport, and replaced it with what used to be the 800 Sport, but they renamed it the SS800.

Confused? You should be!

In any case, the '03 800 you're looking at is probably priced pretty fairly, because it has 5-spoke wheels, fully adjustable front forks, aluminum swingarm, and some other goodies that this year's SS800 doesn't have.

I believe the list price for the 2003 800 Supersport was something like $10K. (You might want to look that up).
