1)All 900SS's from '98< are fuel injected.
2)The carbed SS's (89-90 and 91-97 models) all suffered from carb icing.The carb heater kits helped but the best cure is to slosh a fuel octane booster in the tank like Silkolene Pro FST.
3)The riding position is very similar to a 996,ie @rse in the air,low bars.You do get used to it tho.
4)Dont forget to check the service record.Duke services are mileage and time dependant.You may be able to use a service as a price negotiator.
5)£3700 sounds a bit pricey to me,but I guess the dealer has to make a profit.I know Fordie sold his bike for a lot less than that.(Similar age,but a lot more miles).
You wont go far wrong with an SS.
