i paid 4800 for my 07 with 1035 miles and thought i was being thrifty. i see now in the last page alone, i have no skill for haggling, despite getting them to come down almost 1000 dollars.
Paid $3850 for my 2006 Blue FZ6. Got it with 5119 miles and it had been dropped once, but only a few scratch marks on it. Pretty good price for what I had seen in VA. I've only added frame sliders to it so far to keep any future drops to a minimal damage.
I can't resist my laugh!
I paid 12,800 bucks for my 09! And I'm happy!
You have no idea how many taxes we pay here... It's a shame...
(But she's in my garage!!!)
$8,125.00 new in 05 @ 0 miles
= bike +Tax, tabs, title fees, crate charge=($800 to assemble? ouch) helmet, and some crap called data dot that is supposed to have some digital codes for police on 180 some parts if stolen and parted out. Sounded cool at the time, like a cheap lo jack solution. But that crap they used to cover the numbers is like finding glue drops on 180 some places on my bike, that crap sucks.And I paid for it, woo hoo.
I live in Canada, Barrie Ontairo to be exact, I got my 2007 just this past summer (July 2009) for $5250. Now in Canada the list price for an 09 is about $9300 or so. The guy I bought it from bought it new and had no time to ride, so my 2 year old FZ6 only had 332km on it.
$3000 cash for a 2004 in awesome shape and 13k miles. Guy was going through the whole "I'm moving in 2 weeks and my wife is pregnant and does not want me riding" series of unfortunate events. Had my certified mechanic check it out, said everything on it was in good condition and they guy took care of it. Came with belly pan and puig windscreen.
