View Full Version : Thinking about a NEW bike

SO I am thinking of getting a NEW Bike. !?!?!

By NEW I mean it can be an 05, 06 leftovers, or an 07 but i want to be able to get some sort of promotion for it (like 3 months no interest or some crap like that one of those manufacture credit card promos)and/or pay it with a credit card. (I do not want to pay in cash or personal check unless it is an amazing deal so most likely private sales are out of this :( )

I currently have an 04 GSXR 750 and I like it a lot, as far as combination of weight, power, agility, and insurance price :ride: . I have also owned a 2002 R6 before and it was cool for the streets. I often ride a 2006 R1 which I think is a bit much for the street or at least for the way I like to ride. From time to time I also ride a 2005 R6 I like it but it is too whiny but I think more suitable for the street than the R1. I do not have much experience with Hondas or Kawis. I would consider another GSXR 750 (probably a 600 as well but the new style 06 an up) Ill probably keep this one bone stock and I like the clean look of the new GSXR with the little exhaust. I have never really rode on a Twin (well a few time on a monster 900) but might consider a Vtwin too.

SO let me know if you know of any deals around or if you see anything that might fit my description ... ( I know you people go to dealerships more often them I do and some of you know people at dealerships.)

Omar, let me know what you have going on at your place.. you seem to have good deals and hook people up and I hear great things about you and your service.

Thanks

Yamaha is running a 0 down, 0 interest, 0 payments for like 6 months on 07 and leftovers.

I was thinking of going this route for an 06 R6 before I found a used ride that I liked.

I rode the 06 R6 and its a great bike but its really meant for the track. You really have to wring the hell out of that bike. Kawi 600 makes a bit more power down low and might be more suited but when I was looking, Kawaski wasn't really running any good promos.

yeah its defianlty a track bike.. i rode it and liek i said to whiney have ot be in high rpms all the time and etc.. mayebits a good biek if youlive somewhere out side of the tri satte with lotso roads and no traffic.. IN NYC you need some power down low to not get killed.

thisis why i am so impresed with the GSXR 750 its not to powerfull like the 1000s but yet is less whiny and has more low end... also keeps up with the big bikes. thisis what i relaly liek about the 750... oh yeah plus the insurance is more like the 600s not the 1000s which is always good.

i am pretty much open to any class as long as the deal is good... especially since ill keep my other bike and make it a Stunt/Track bike with a clean title so i can alwasy take it out on the street.

i love my twin, the low end power is unbeatable. but if your use to those newer 600's and stuff, my bike would feel like a tank, lol.

aside from ducati, who even makes a current twin, ( supersport ) no more TLR, no more RC51.
Unless they start making another serious twin, my next bike would probably be a busa. i like big bikes though since im big n fat. lol i feel WAY to squished up and any of the newer bikes.

next time i see ya, take my bike out for a whirl, it lacks the top end on the I-4' s but more than makes up for it with the low end grunt. and it sounds mean :)

ill def take you up on that offer.. i am in PA alot now mostly every other weekdn and as soon as it gets warmer ill be taking my bike with me :)
trust me i kow how loud your bike is :) but i doubt i will like it even if i liek thepower and engine.. i am a small guy... this is why i never went witha Gix before the 2004 model year. because it felt wide and i was uncomfortable withit.. thisis why i chose the 02 r6 when i was buying a new bike back in 02...

theoretically twins are supposed to be thinner than I-4s because of the placement of the motor... but you'd never know it sitting on my bike, lol.. its pudgy, but im so use to it and i love it. im sure i could ride another bike faster, but im too attached to my bike to get another one, im crazy like that.

im creepin up on the 30000 mile mark, so eventually im gonna be in the market for a new.. newer bike. but in the mean time im happy with my old overwieght pudgy bike lol. :nopity:


and yes i say on an R-6 once, i felt like i was sitting on a pit bike or something, it felt so tiny n narrow and small!

I'm not sure about deals but the only thing I'd put in the same bracket as what you're talking about is the Daytona 675. I doubt you'd get any deals though. As for twins Aprilia and Ducati are both making twins still and I'm sure you could get a deal on a 999/749 if you were interested. The 1098 is going to be pretty hard to find until much later in the year and you know there's going to be nothing in the way of discounts. I thought you could still get the RC51? I'm sure there'd be a few '06s floating around: http://powersports.honda.com/motorcycles/sport/model.asp?ModelName=RC51&ModelYear=2006&ModelId=RVT1000R6

Good luck dude.

thanks ES.. i actually I would not mid a Duc 749 :)
but i am not in the market for a twin specifically... i want another bike for the streets. but the bike will be chosen based on deal and price. 600, 675, 750, 1000, which eve one happens to be the best deal in my situation. a twin is not neccessary, and it does not have to be the newset and latest i just want a bike for the street. a new stock biek for the street...

EvilSteve
03-12-2007, 12:22 PM
Fair enough. If you can still find a 749 you'd probably be able to get an awesome deal.

I don't know if the guys at Duc NYC could find one but go to your nearest Duc dealer and ask about one. They're not making them this year (as you know) so dealers are trying to ditch them (as is Ducati NA). They were definitely being let go for a lot lower than MSRP. Unfortunately, the longer you wait, the less likely you are to get one. Not saying you need to hurry for that, just that's probably your best deal (or an RC51) if you can find it.

i woudl prefer a duc over a rc
BTW i had no clue they were not being made this year.. why?
BW duc of nyc is my closes dealr LOL

They dropped the 749 because the 999 is going away thanks to the 1098 and it doesn't make sense to support two product lines (even though they have in the past - 998/999). I'm guessing there'll be a 848 in '08 or '09. The only 999/749 style bike selling as an '07 bike is worldwide is the 999s Team USA: http://www.ducati.com/od/ducatinorthamerica/en/bikes/model.jhtml?model=1521.

The only thing a competent person may have issues with is the belt timing. That requires special tools. A friend of mine (isn't a mechanic) does everything but that and takes it to his local dealer and they do it for $45. So on top of parts and oil, he's paying $45 to service his 749. Not bad really. If you get all the shims and everything you're good to go. Just make sure you follow the required service items and get in good with your local mechanic. That way you can do all the bits you want and take it to them for the rest and you've got a totally valid service.

BTW read people read!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hondas promotions are POOP!

yes they look good.. "$39 for 24mo" or "$149 for 60mo" but if you read into it you are paying almsot 12% on the loan amount .. that is fucking stupid "149 monthly payment and 11.9%" and "39 monthly payment and 11.9%"
why dont you people read?!?!? this is why there are so many idionts with bikes... Yes i said idiots inmore ways than one. They make bikes to easy to get by offering these promos (if you want to call them that) and approving EVERYONE if not for the promo rate of 12% than for even more % and these momos dont even read the fine print and end up paying like 15K for a 600cc bike..

a good promo is 3.9% (my first yami i got at a promo rate of 2.9% for 12 months.. no that is a promo) or 6 months no interest or something along those lines.. 12% DAMN i cant believe they have the balls to call it a promo... and i cant believ even more people buy into it..
shame fucking shame...
