Dude, I'm getting a little tired of people using the economy as a reason to try to steal stuff.
Like anything else, the bike is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Just because some people are scared to spend money, doesn't automatically mean the person who's in the market for this kind of bike won't jump on this deal.
The company my wife and I (I just resigned/volunteered for a layoff) work for has a Honda cycles dealership. They're making a TON of money and are selling more bikes than ever. This is an enthusiast product with a near cult following.
People will FIND the money to buy a motorcycle.
The economy is tough, but it's not so tough that every single thing that's for sale has to be sold at a loss.
That's an asinine position only used by people who are trying to get something cheap.
Dude, this bike is nice. While I'd love to be the guy who offered you 1500 and take over payments if you said yes, I'd also understand if you didn't sell it.
I'm not saying this to anyone in particular in this thread. I'm just saying this because I see it just about everywhere I look these days.
Good luck,
Alan
Thanks man. I see where youre coming from. In my opinion, and any other enthusiast, this bike is worth every bit of $10K no matter how bad the economy is. The place where I bought the bike is one of the largest dealers in GA and they are selling bikes like crazy and have been all of last year and this year. I am in no situation to have to sell it, and plan on keeping it until the right deal comes along. Until then, I'll just keep modding it until I think im finished. This bike stock is already sick and needs nothing, I cant wait to see it when im finished.
