Going to pick it up Friday.

Does anyone have any advice regarding specific things to check before buying?

If you engine brake moderately to heavily, it will backfire. This does not mean that anything is wrong. "They all do that."
ETA: That's a heck of a good price. Buy it!

I thought so too. I think I can handle it needing most anything routine maintenance-wise. I just hope it's not a pig-in-a-poke.

Have you PM'd Jim (K11OG administrator)? He bought a K75RTP earlier this year and has been going through his. Also Ted (another administrator) but he might be a bit busy, since he is a political lawyer.
And of course, as he stated above, Flying Duck knows these triples.
BTW, the Reynolds rack arrived and is mounted, just waiting for the new aux tank then I will send you pictures. Thanks again.

Deal! Reasonably low mileage - you're stealing it at that price...
