It's been way to long since I have ridden dirt.

You'll get ass raped trading it in... Talk to the dealers, find out what they'll give you for trade, then mark it up $500 and put it on craigslist. You'll end up much better that way... plus you won't have to pay retarded setup fees and shit...

Yeah tru dat. The Honda stealership here sales their new stuff for like $2k off msrp but sells their used stuff for like KBB +$2k anyways. They wanted as much for a used '05 CBR600 as they do for a new '08 CBR600.

What if you opened a dealership that was more of a parts/accessories store... say, at The Gap. You make your money and stay alive off of parts/accessories... gear and whatnot... then you sell bikes for very little profit... People buying bikes for cheap, will spend the money they saved on bling, go fasts, and ass covers... If you could get the land and everything right on 129, you could very well have a fucking gold mine... |

The reason this stealership can sell for so low tho is because they sell like 20+bikes a week. Theyre the largest Honda powersports dealer in the U.S. No doubt the prices of their used bikes play a large role too. |

You can pick up DRZ's around $3k if you keep an eye out. The KTM's are too damn pricey. |

I love mine just never get to ride it around here...KC sucks like that. I'll probably keep it through Tennessee then sell it when I get back. Or right before I leave

For my first post I will chime in on the dirt bike thread!
I have been riding dirt since birth and street since I was 18. The benefit of dirt riding is that you can take a no Sh!t big get off, bounce up and keep on with you riding day. Oddly enough, MANY of the skills you use on the asphalt directly translate to the dirt (think weight/body position, relaxed arms, line choice, vision). And not to mention that if you are used to you tires getting loose and squirelly on the dirt when it happens on the asphalt your butth@le doesn't pucker up nearly as bad. MANY pro street racers train off road. Still more got there start there (think Hayden). And the clincher....It is a lot easy to get your fix on wooded single track where you don't have to worry about the "Bubba Brigade" (cops) around every corner like you have to in most places in California. Just my first $.02 on this forum! |
