Went to buy a flasher relay and might have come back with something a bit different...

yeah its £3495 but i wouldnt have to do anything to it, its got a yoshi pipe, steering damper, levers, double bubble screen, nice sticker set, tail tidy, LED indicators, really clean looking bike

Thats the bike

I know theres a lot of other gsxr's around, i;ve seen a newer one for the same price but i'd still rather go for this one just because of the bike is stunning, really like it so think i'd be prepared to pay maybe

 

haha if only it was that easy! hopfully the roads are clear and i can get down there and get my bike evaluated and get a decent price. I'm getting it on a credit card and its around the price i was looking for anyway and theres no move on the price he said, other people have tried to move the price even just a couple of hundred lower and he's turned them down, dunno how true that is but they're pretty honest down there and i like them.. just find out this lunch i'll post how much they offer for the ninja hoping around 2000 as a minimum

 

Think my sons insurer is just motorcycles or something simlar, a Carole Nash subsidiary. I think you should really push the dealer to include the restriction in the deal, it seems very reasonable to ask that! Or even go 50-50 if he's that solid on the price. Thing is, you have really fallen for the bike, we can tell and I suspect so can the dealer. You've lost your bargaining power, you mad fool.
(we're currently trying very hard not to let the sellers or estate agents know how much we like a house, so I know the feelng!)

 

Yeah i'll say to him i'll go 50/50 i didnt think of that!
i know what your going through with your house then! cos im going through it with the bike! i think im doing alright, he asked if i wanted to put a couple hundred deposit down and if i dont want it i can then have all of it back but that would have shown i was really intrested and probably mean he would have offered less for my bike.. 12:30 seems to take forever when you got stuff to do...

 

well i got offered £2000 for my bike (pretty happy about that considering its an 08 250) gunna go down tonight and put a deposit on cos he also needs to test ride mine as we didnt have time for that, he said he cant do much on the ristrctor because he doesnt have any move with the bike, think he is selling on behalf of someone and he is advertising it..

 

Your choice mate, but you don't need to buy from him and dealers are supposedly struggling. They will tell you anything. Sometimes if you walk away, they will eventually phone you back. Have you checked what your bikes, Kawa and Gixxer, are going for on eBay, Bike Trader etc?

 

Yeah theres 2 on ebay going for £2000 and while i was away this weekend my mums partner went to geadges and asked how much they'd buy my bike for without them seeing it the book price was 1500 so i think im not losing out on that price on the bike,
Know what your saying about not going dealer though.. didnt want to go to one again but the bike looks great

 

Just be patient mate. Play hardball and see what happens?

 

yeah i just had a quick look on auto trader again and its around the right price http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/..._old/body-type/sports/sort/recpriceascdefault,

Im gunna phone the insurance and tripple check that everything is correct because that'll be the decider unfortunatly, it is the bike i've always liked but thought i could never afford due to insurance

 

At the end of the day it's your choice and your money mate!

 

Yeah gunna have a think n that

 

The Bike is nice, but thats top top book price, I be wanting to see, low milage, full main dealer service history with that

Plus I'd want, the original end can and levers, to prove the upgrades were for the right reason

 

I don't wish to confuse matters, but here is a private seller with a similar appearance, lowish mileage bike with full service history. The bike has been up for a fortnight and is still there... You could make him a decent offer, pay for restriction at your local garage and still be quids in.

didnt think to ask to see the old stuff, i did ask if he had all the original parts and he said he thinks the person does.. i'll get him to 100% find out later.

haha now that does confuse things! the price isnt to far off though and with having the ohlins steering damper, hugger makes me think i'd have to spend the money toget a few extras so it sorta pays for itself if you get me? might see what sort of offers he would take though never looked on piston heads before.

 

What can i say... i loved it and i got it. the book price for my ninja was £1500 and i got £2000 for it and i took the exhaust off so i can make at least £100 on that, also got £100 off of the restrictor and labour, also he put on a free air filter because it looked dirty when he fitted the parts, pick her up next week (maybe... bloody snow ) and i'll chuck some pics up! thanks for all the advice as well really appreciate it

 

Great news! Take it easy to start with..!

Oh alright - rag the bastard... You know you want to. Seriously, though - it's very easy to reach license-imperilling velocity with ease and they aren't the subtlest of bikes! You will be noticed

 

Nice one Jack. I expect to get first look at it as soon as the weather gets better!

 

That looked like a very promising bike! but glad you are happy with your decision

 

Yeah as soon as the weather clears up i'll be on it! the waiting game begins...
