8% before you factor in the low miles. I'm not one to drink the IMSB kool-aid, but the pros say that garage queens are more susceptible to bearing issues due to oil acidity inside the bearing (pitting and etching of the balls and races).

If I were to buy one of the two, higher miles and an LN retrofit would look much more appealing.
