Places to stay in Amarillo?

Can anyone recommend a cheap but decent place to stay in Amarillo? I'll be passing through on my way to Santa Fe in a couple of weeks, riding from Ohio. Preferences given to anywhere with good beer...

I admit I'm a little skeptical that you've found a 1200 for that price...is it possibly an 1100 or 1000? Still great bikes, but different in many ways, and $6500 is more in line with used 1000/1100...

I think it really depends on where you are, and whether you go to a dealership or not. To compare, a dealer service on my air-cooled Multi would run $800 and up. But, I take it to a private Ducati...
