Of all the things that contributed to me buying the bike - me being a cheap bastrd and loving getting a deal definitely played a part.TEvo wrote:Congrats!
Refresh my memory but... it's a new leftover model?
There are no miles on the clock and the tires (Bridgestone BT-015 from the looks of it) still have the color stripes on them. Fresh from the manufacturer!
BTW, the suggested shift points in the owner's manual are just manufacturer boilerplate for fuel economy and low noise emissions. They are pretty much useless.
It is - brand spanking new - @ $8499 purchase price. I didn't even complain about the assembly and destination charge which brought the price up to $9300 + tax + tag. My ending cost ended up at $10,262 + $200 delivery.
Based on the price before all the crap - $4400 off the MSRP.
The funny thing is, everyone I show the bike or pictures of the bike - think it is a good looking bike. So, the perception that it is ugly and of course MPG (which it really doesn't get good mpg) and the timing of its release contributed to it not selling in the US. Which in turn meant this dealer was so motivated to see it that they posted online the price of $8499.
I just wish it was the ABS model, but for the price and the fact that my current bike doesn't have ABS.... I got it.
It is sooo huge. Can't wait until tomorrow and warmer weather (40+ degrees) - so I can take it for a spin!

Of course, just for looks I think it is worth it.
