no prob. after im done there im gonna go look at an 01 r6. 8k miles. very clean. older, mature owner (from phone conversation)...
only thing is he's asking 5500 (has a micron high mount and flush signals, integrated rear signals)... KBB puts it at 4750 and NADA puts it even lower. we'll see how this goes. ![]() |

so i went to look at the r6. it was very clean. had mismatched tires. the guy was pretty laid back, he didnt seem to know shit about shit, said he just rode it as a commuter and what not. bike started good, looked good.
I asked what he was asking ( i already knew) and he says 5500. i say "well Kbb states retail is around 4800 at best". he says yea, he's aware of that, and he thinks the micron exaust, untertail, and flushies do the 5500 justice. I flat out tell him i think the bike is worth 46-47 hundred, and put that on the table. He says 5k is the lowest he's willing to go. I politely agreed to disagree and told him i will check back in a week. On the plus side, his girl was there the whole time, and i made sure to make an offer in front of her. Nothing is going to get a man to sell his bike faster than the scorn of a woman. also, he says he needs money for school, he just got married, whatever. He's 33 and in school, if i flashed 4500 in benjamins he prolly woulda taken it right there. either way imma let this one sit for a while. |

Good call NtS. 'pecially calling out the offer there in front of the woman. Fair price I think in this circumstance.
Guess he doesn't understand most typically when you put those "extras" into the bike, they're just that at resale... "extras." Not something to really negotiate w/. keep us posted as to what happens. |

Good work. Hope you find something soon. I have been kinda looking and was about to get serious soon, but I think a deal on a 97 gsxr 750 just fell into my lap. Like trade mine and some cash for his. Hopefully all goes well.
