I was told it is a 2001 525 E/XC. Now if I did my research right, the 525 was brought out in 2003. Also, the bike doesn’t have a headlight like I thought the E/XCs had. It is a 6 speed and has electric start. Was the headlight an option on the E/XC? Somewhere along the line, either he or I have been misinformed. What do you guys think is wrong here. Just a FYI, the bike has been meticulously maintained as the person I am buying it from it a certified motorcycle tech and I do know him personally. I just haven’t had the chance to talk to him about it since I last saw him.
