I just picked up a new '06 today. It started raining on me as I left the dealership and 30 miles later it is sitting in front of my apartment with a cover on it. PLEASE STOP RAINING!
Do'h!!! I HATE the rain! CONGRATULATIONS! Did you get a great deal since it was an 06? If you don't mind, what did you pay? (I am looking at new 07's now.) ABS? Hard cases? Any interesting tidbits I should know about your experience? You ARE wearing full gear, aren't you?
I got it for $8400 (but also got hit for $1100 of assorted set up, delivery, and "documentation fees") so it really was $9500 which isn't a smoking deal. They gave me $1500 for my 2000 SV-650 (I paid $2500 for it and put 10,000 miles on it.) No accessories except an ICON mil spec vest so I can ride it on base.
Yeah I know. I usually pay cash to private sellers but couldn't find a decent VFR anywhere. Let me be a lesson to you all!
Congradulations on the new bike. I know I can't wait to get back home so I can start to ride mine again.
Yes, thanks for the info and the learning experience. I'll remember when I go to the mat. I have the same vest you mentioned...I am not military but feel it is good to wear when in traffic. Kinda ugly but that is what a VFR is there for...to look pretty! Ride safe Fishy! (Oh, and thanks for doing your part in the military! My dad was a full "bird" in the Army...)
You guys have replied to a 2007 thread. The bike was brand new at the time Before posting take a look at the dates on the threads in each view of this software.
Can you do me a favor and swap some funds in my e-trade account please? User Knight PW: broke237. Take my Ford and dump it into Apple. Thank you very much. Looking forward to chatting with you about my awesome new motorcycle collection when you catch up to us in 2015
