I found an 07 RSV Factory with 900 miles on it for $6K flat. Salvage title. Bike was dropped on the track and managed to lightly scratch just about every painted surface on it, plus both pipes are scratched, dented(full Akro system) , plus one busted clip-on. No frame or engine damage, no scratches on rims, Ohlins fork or swingarm....bike rides straight.
These bikes MSRP'd for $17999, but they are available new from some dealers (like the one in McHenry) with warranty for $10K flat as they try to move old stock for the '09's. This would be a fix and keeper what with the rebuilt title. Normally I wouldn't hesitate, but with the plunging prices of exotics ($8k discount NEW!!!) this looks like less of a good deal.....but $6 K for an RSV Factory??????.......... Any input? |

I feel retarded giving input to an expert like yourself...
Sounds too good to be true... I'd take a hard, hard look at it before doing anything. You could certainly part it out and make a good profit it in the very least... |

I drove up to Philly yesterday and rode it and checked it out....I have a fair idea of what I'll take to make it right and was all ready to drop the cash, but the little voice said to check out supply on NOS 07's and 08's..... and they haven't held value at ALL because of the cruddy economy. Like I said...10K for a spanky new one with a two-year warranty and a real title......I thinkin' the actual price of this ought to be more in the $4500 range......

You are most likely right...I could prolly do better parting it out, but I haven't done that, I'm used to fix and sell.... and I've heard the scene on Ebay is full of douche-baggery when it comes to bidders actually paying......

Parting out would be a hell of a lot of work.

I'm with OSP, I cant even begin to offer advice to someone like yourself...if you get it will you be repairing/replacing the plastics or leaving as is?
